SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)

High pressure builds over Southern Mainland, while a weakening low is tracking east across the Gulf towards the Southeast Panhandle. Cordova reported light rainfall this morning and showers will more than likely continue through most of the day and into tomorrow (Thursday) morning. Light rain showers will also develop for the Copper River Basin this afternoon, with the highest chances near terrain. Additionally, there will be periods of isolated, diurnally driven thunderstorms over the next few afternoons as we continue a warming trend and easterly waves progress through Southcentral for the rest of this week. The wave moving through the Copper River Basin and the northern Gulf today, then will pass through the Susitna Valley and western Kenai for Thursday afternoon where the potential for isolated thunderstorms will be greater (relative to the Copper River Basin). For coastal locations, expect diurnally driven sea breezes each afternoon through this week.
