LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7)

A shortwave moves across Southwest Sunday night and through Southcentral early next week. It brings moderate rainfall to the the Kenai Peninsula and mountainous areas of Southcentral. As this low digs into the Gulf of Alaska, locally heavy rainfall is possible in the Prince William Sound region Monday into Wednesday. Current guidance on the timing and exact location of the low crossing the state remains low but confidence remains high of a change to an overall wet pattern for most of Southcentral next week. Persistent southwesterly flow behind this low will continue to bring weak fronts through Southwest Alaska into the middle of next week.

AVIATION

PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist through Friday morning. Southeasterly winds will increase Friday afternoon with gusts to around 20 kt anticipated at this time.
