323 AM AKDT Tue Apr 22 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Very similar conditions to yesterday are expected today with an
upper level disturbance lifting through the Inlet this morning.
Most of the rain is once again expected over the Kenai Peninsula
this morning, but isolated to scattered showers are possible this
afternoon throughout the region. A low pressure system moving into
the southern Gulf tomorrow will keep most of the moisture over the
Gulf and confined to the immediate coast. With this a slight drying
trend will begin Wed and continue through Fri for inland areas.
Temperatures will remain seasonal.
