Greetings,

 

A ridge of high pressure that extends from over the Ross Sea to over the western Ice Shelf is receding northward. This allows a trough associated with a low-pressure center over Roosevelt Island to drift over the central Ice shelf. Producing moderate gradient winds and increased near surface moisture for the camp.

 

Wednesday: Mostly clear skies with 3-5 miles of visibility in light fog. Winds are forecast southeast through south at 8-12 knots, occasionally gusting to 18 knots.

Thursday: Mostly clear skies with a period of Mostly cloudy skies at 8000 feet from mid-morning through early afternoon. Visibility is expected to be 2-4 miles in fog, reducing to 1-3 miles in fog by early afternoon. Winds are anticipated to be south through southeast at 14-18 knots occasionally gusting to 26 knots.

 

Friday: Mostly clear skies with 1-3 miles of visibility in fog. Southeast winds will be 8 -12 knots tapering off to light and variable by mid-afternoon.

 

 

Cheers,
