AVIATION

PANC...A trough works its way up the Cook Inlet this morning, bringing rain showers and MVFR vis/cigs. VFR conditions will return by around 20Z as steadier rain showers taper off, with ceilings remaining below 5,000 ft. As southeasterly flow increases, a Turnagain Arm wind is expected to develop by around 0Z this afternoon, bringing gusts up to 25 kts and ceilings above 5,000 ft. This downslope flow should keep most rain showers out of the Anchorage Bowl, though a passing shower or two can not be ruled out. Turnagain Arm winds will diminish by around 9Z tonight, with light northerly surface winds prevailing through tomorrow morning.
