Low pressure centers moved along the Aleutian Islands or into the Gulf of Alaska through the 10th helping to slowly weaken the High fursther, but not before producing strong pressure gradient in areas across Northern Alaska...resulting in Blizzard conditions, High winds, and Extreme Wind Chills in various locations.Strong winds were reported at:Zone 207: Point Hope AWOS peak gust 65 knots (75 mph) at 1035 AST on the 9th, and 59 knots (68 mph) at 0455 AST on the 10th.Zone 210 - Hoodoo Hill Remote Automated Weather System (RAWS):gust near 52 knots (60 mph).Zone 212 - Unalakleet AWOS: peak gust 58 knots (67 mph).
