Melissa ConnHOST
Alaska is another one I want to mention here because I've been three times now and two of those trips were based in Anchorage.
Melissa ConnHOST
The first trip was a family road trip all around Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula.
Melissa ConnHOST
The second time I went for a conference in Anchorage with some girlfriends, and we did a bunch of day trips around the conference, but we were still just in the Anchorage area.
Melissa ConnHOST
The third time this past summer, I went back one-on-one with my son, and that's what I covered in Season 1, Episode 45.

Uh, but as we look ahead right now, at least across South Central, we'll continue to hold onto some shower activity for coastal locations.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
But the good news is that if you're in the Kenai Peninsula, even into Anchorage or, uh, the Mat-Su Valley, we are in store for sunshine for today.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
So plenty more sunshine ahead for you to at least close out the weekend and kick off the weekend.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Um, as we look at our satellite and radar, this is where we're tracking some wet weather lingering into the interior.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
So again, that will continue throughout the day today, and even heading into our Saturday.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
And storm impacts, including landslide risk and flooding concerns, will still remain throughout the day.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Now as we look ahead for South Central, at least partly cloudy skies in store for Anchorage into the Mat-Su Valley and the Kenai Peninsula.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
But you might notice a lot of shower activity still continuing for Prince William Sound.
DaveHOST
He's an Alaskan guide.
DaveHOST
He's out of Matanuska, Susitna Valley, and the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.
DaveHOST
And appreciate you coming on.
DaveHOST
And shout out to Rob Bailey of Flagner Field.
JoshGUEST
Actually purchased my childhood home where I grew up.
JoshGUEST
So that's where I still live.
JoshGUEST
We, we spend the winter months and part of the summer here in the Mat-Su and then the rest of our time is on the Kenai Peninsula.
JoshGUEST
And that's where we do most of our salmon fishing.
James BrooksGUEST
Uh, the large non-white population in rural Alaska tends to drive that.
James BrooksGUEST
Urban Alaska, uh, particularly suburban, exurban, uh, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough north of Anchorage is a Republican hotspot, as is the Kenai Peninsula Borough south of Anchorage.
James BrooksGUEST
Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, about 300,000 people.
James BrooksGUEST
That's a lit- about 40% of the state's population.
speaker_3CORRESPONDENT
Mostly cloudy skies are in store for the first half the day, and then again, showers will begin to build towards inland locations.
speaker_3CORRESPONDENT
But we will especially continue to watch heavy rainfall in coastal locations such as, uh, Kodiak, into Homer, along Prince William Sound and the western side of, and the eastern side of the Kenai Peninsula.
speaker_3CORRESPONDENT
But especially in Southeast, you can see all of this heavy rainfall expected just throughout the day today.
speaker_3CORRESPONDENT
And again, today is when we're tracking the heaviest impacts in store for the region, but residual impacts will continue through Friday and even heading into the weekend.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
The center of the storm right now south of Kodiak, where we've already seen wind gusts over 50 miles per hour today.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
You can see a band of heavy rain extending to the Kenai Peninsula.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
Heavy rain from Homer into Seward and across Prince William Sound.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
Even some lightning from this storm down south of Cordova.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
Already seen eight tenths of an inch in Portage Glacier, and that has just been over the past few hours, about a third of an inch there in Seward.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
So quick look at the timing.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
Again, it's overnight tonight that we see those wet and windy conditions in Kodiak and the Kenai Peninsula, mainly the coastal areas from Homer to Seward into Prince William Sound.
MelissaCORRESPONDENT
Showers will continue across the Kenai Peninsula and even pushing into Anchorage late in the day tomorrow- But the more significant impacts, those slide into southeast Thursday.
speaker_2HOST
That is, uh, the outer branch of this next storm that we are beginning to track.
speaker_2HOST
So in areas like the Kenai Peninsula, you will see mostly cloudy skies throughout the day.
speaker_2HOST
But in Homer as well as Seward, showers will begin to arrive later on as the storm starts to inch just a little bit closer.
speaker_2HOST
Now, as we track through the rest of our day today, especially in South Central, we'll s- we'll start off the morning in Anchorage with some sunshine, but we will see an increase in cloud cover, very similar to what we experienced yesterday, so partly sunny skies, but cloud cover will gradually start to build, especially by the afternoon hours.
speaker_2HOST
Otherwise, we are tracking the next storm system that will bring showers all across the Kenai Peninsula, especially in coastal areas, and that will extend from Homer up into Prince William Sound, and that'll move in through your afternoon hours and all throughout your Thursday as well.
speaker_2HOST
So definitely brace for some wet impacts moving in later on tonight, all throughout our Thursday.
speaker_2HOST
And again, later on during our show, I'll talk all about the impacts expected in, uh, southeast, but for the day today is the calm before the storm.
Jessie SauderGUEST
Uh, that would've been at Anchor Point, I believe, at the river mouth.
Jessie SauderGUEST
Um, yeah, my sister would live in, like, the Kenai Peninsula, so all my birding was sort of from, like, Soldotna, Kenai area, and then Seward and Homer.
Mathew RadfordHOST
Ah, awesome.
Mathew RadfordHOST
And when I was there, again, it's embarrassing I wasn't birding, but, but it was still great, right? Stayed in Wasilla and then went over to Seward, and we took some trips out on the Prince William Sound, et cetera, but ...
speaker_3UNKNOWN
But as we look ahead for the rest of the day today, again, partly sunny from Anchorage into the Mat-Su Valley.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Coastal showers will continue with some dry sp- uh, dry, uh, spells throughout the day in areas like Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
But for the day today, again, we'll see some drier conditions across much of South Central.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
And I just wanna give you a quick forecast of Wasilla if you're heading out today.
10 MINS LATER
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Now, as we look at our satellite and radar, we already saw our quick, uh, sweep of morning moisture sweeping through and bringing showers into areas like the Mat-Su Valley right now.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
But again, these are clearing out.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
We will see partly sunny skies across much of the region, especially in the Kenai Peninsula, getting quite a bit of sunshine for the day today.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Even Anchorage into areas like Wasilla are going to see some sun breaks with partly sunny skies in the forecast.
BaileyHOST
But we are likely to see partly cloudy to partly sunny skies as we start our morning in areas like Anchorage.
BaileyHOST
Even into the afternoon hours, you can really start to see more of this moisture starting to push into the Kenai Peninsula, but even for South Central as a whole.
BaileyHOST
So by the afternoon hours, Kenai down to Homer likely to get more rainfall, especially heading into the nighttime.
BaileyHOST
But then by tomorrow morning, that's when we're likely to start off the day with some rainfall.
