After a brief showing of sunshine this week, much of Southcentral Alaska is in for a very wet weekend,As of Friday afternoon, the weather service was predicting “prolonged, steady rainfall” for the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage and Mat-Su that would begin Friday night and last through at least Sunday morning.
Communities along Cook Inlet and into the Susitna Valley were expected to get the most precipitation, including Nikiski, Kenai, Soldotna, Talkeetna and Skwentna.
