.DISCUSSION...
The Lower Yukon Valley to the YK Delta and along the coast of
Norton Sound is currently receiving widespread wetting rains as a
low moves into the Bering Sea. Tonight and Tuesday, the rain will
be spreading north with showers towards Ambler and steadier south
and west of there. The rain will diminish into showers gradually
through the day and completely end by Wednesday morning. When it`s
all said and done, around 0.25 to 0.50" of rain will have fallen
from the Seward Peninsula south and east, with lesser amounts east
of Galena/McGrath. Then the heat is on as a high builds over the
North Slope, temperatures will be ramping up into the 70s and 80s
across much of the area by Wednesday and especially Thursday. Min
RHs will not be an issue through tomorrow afternoon but will drop
into the 30s on Wednesday in the Interior, then continue gradually
dropping through the end of the week. Southeast winds will be
gusty through Wednesday afternoon, especially south and west of
Galena, then weaken on Thursday.
