Vicinity of ocean off the coast of Point Hope: 1318/1402 20005KT 1/2SM FG BKN003 SCT025 FM142200 20007KT P6SM SCT003 SCT025 TEMPO 1322/1402 TEMPO 1/2SM FG OVC003= Mixed bag of conditions today, with CIGS and VIS being the primary concerns. Winds broadly remain at 5 to 10 kt out of the SSW, becoming more WSW to W as one reaches Cape Lisburne or goes inland. Mostly cloudy to overcast skies currently present generally trending towards more partly cloudy, especially through the afternoon hours. CIGS will prove to be more challenging to forecast, with some areas of IFR to LIFR conditions through the morning hours before larger breaks begin to appear through the afternoon. VIS will likewise be very low during the morning hours, but will improve for some parts of the vicinity through the afternoon. Exact timing on when the greatest chances for breaks in the marine layer will occur remain difficult to pin down. CIGS and VIS will be significantly better for areas inland.
