SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Sunday through Tuesday)

After over a week of daily rainfall and temperatures in the 50s, this past weekend's dry conditions, sunny skies and calm winds across most of Southcentral was a welcomed relief. However, as a trough moves southward across the region tonight, cloud cover increases with scattered rain showers expected Monday into Tuesday.

A trough moving southward from the Arctic brings increased cloud cover overnight to Southcentral and wide spread rain showers overnight into Monday morning. Rainfall amounts through 10 pm tomorrow will vary across Southcentral with a 20% chance of amounts exceeding 0.10" from Anchorage up to Palmer/Wasilla. Into the northern and western Susitna Valley, the chance of exceeding 0.10" rises to 80% though the chance of exceeding 0.25" rises to 45% and exceeding 0.50" is 30%. Therefore, total rainfall amounts in this part of the Susitna Valley during this short- lived rain event ranged from 0.25" to 0.50". While these amounts are not expected to cause any additional flooding, it will be worth watching as many streams and rivers in the Susitna Valley remain elevated. Drier conditions return for Tuesday evening across Southcentral.

AVIATION

PANC...VFR conditions will persist. Winds will remain light becoming southerly by late this evening. Southerly winds pick up, becoming gusty early tomorrow morning and will persist through the early afternoon.
