NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
225 AM AKDT Fri Apr 18 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Wind will diminish through today as a weak low pressure system
develops over the northern Gulf/Sound. Widespread shower activity
is also expected today, though chances for wetting rain are low due
to limited moisture. Skies will clear throughout the Kenai,
Anchorage and Mat-Su on Saturday, but showers and cloudier
conditions may remain for the Copper Basin with a disturbance
moving over the Alaska Range.
