.DISCUSSION...

Expecting to see good recovery overnight tonight, with recovery
expected to begin sooner rather than later. Clouds moving in from
the west, currently visible near Noatak, look to limit heating
and bring up RH values, possibly exceeding the 75% forecasted.
As early as 10 PM tonight, a front is expected to sweep across
the area, bringing colder air and southwesterly winds. Still
expecting these winds to occasionally gust to 15 to 25 mph in the
afternoon timeframe, with min RH around 45%. Thursday night and
Friday looks to continue the trend of southwesterly winds, clouds
and moderating RH values. However, expecting to see the winds lighten
up a small amount Thursday night and Friday.
