Day 4-8 Outlook Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0251 AM CST Sat Jan 11 2025 Valid 141200Z - 191200Z ...DISCUSSION... Strong surface high pressure and a dry/stable airmass will envelop much of the CONUS through Day 6/Thu.

As this occurs, a deepening surface cyclone will develop over the southern Plains and shift east. Strengthening southerly low-level flow ahead of the surface low will allow for Gulf moisture to return northward

Hydrologic Outlook issued January 8 at 8:40AM AKST by NWS Anchorage AK

ESFAFC Recent and continuing warm weather and widespread rainfall have led to rising creek and stream levels from the Kenai Peninsula north into the Mat-Su Valleys. Overflow has been reported on creeks and over existing trails. Increased streamflows may also lead to localized ice jams. Those traveling on backcountry trails are encouraged to take extra caution around area streams, rivers and trails, as water may degrade ice and create difficult or hazardous conditions. Additional warm and wet weather is expected this weekend, which may lead to additional river rises and overflow conditions.
