Aug 09, 2000Morning Weather Briefing - Surface
During the morning brief on August 09, the charts show a 996-mb gale low near 75N/165E. The models now call for this low to move east along 75N and weaken to 998 mb.
This will result in an easing of the wind gradient to SW 25 kt
and the combined seas to SW 6-8 ft. Ice is not expected to be a factor as the wind would push any ice out of the area to the northeast and away from the coastline.
The model analysis agrees well with the only observation for this hour.
