DISCUSSION
UPDATE: FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS CANCELLED - SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE
SUBMISSION. SINCE THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LOOKS TO MAINLY BE
EAST OF THE FIRE, WE HAVE GONE AHEAD AND CANCELLED THE WATCH.
CLEARING SKIES THIS MORNING WILL LEAD TO A WARM AFTERNOON WITH
HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP IN THE
AFTERNOON BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE EAST
OF THE FIRE. THE SHOWERS CAN STILL GIVE OUT AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
WITH ERRATIC WIND GUSTS. OTHERWISE, MIN RHS WILL BE A BIT HIGHER
THAN YESTERDAY AS WINDS TURN WESTERLY THIS AFTERNOON, ALLOWING FOR
MORE MOIST AIR FROM KOTZEBUE SOUND TO MOVE IN. MOST OF THE WIND
WILL BE AROUND 10 MPH OR LESS. WINDS WILL PICK UP SIGNIFICANTLY
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WITH SUSTAINED WEST WINDS AROUND 15 TO 20
MPH. BREEZY CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY THEN GRADUALLY
WEAKENS INTO FRIDAY.
