Thanks again for these posts, FG.
If I call you out but go no further, the reason is Brandolini's law.

I really thought we would be getting a bigger storm than what's coming now. So much energy around, and this thing seems to be anorexic...

Just listening to the Deutschlandfunk science podcast. They mentioned the accuracy of weather forecasts decreased in 2020 due to fewer airplanes collecting data (Covid effect).

Thank you for those anyway, FG!! :)

Yes, I heard about that problem a few times already, and the forecasts do suck hard this season. I thought the models had some problems with clean air, but airplanes is a more logical explanation.

Long term forecasts are completely useless now, but short term forecasts have their use.

I'm just waiting for that big storm now that's been predicted a gazillion times already in July, but I think the aliens keep stealing them...  ::)

It sucks hard that there are so many clouds over the ice right now. I was really getting used to clear skies to view the state of the ice.

Curious to see if that big floe will end up in Nares and block the channel. But that's for another thread.

It looks like tomorrow we'll know how strong the ice in the central CAB is. The wind is not that strong, but could certainly do some damage to weak ice.

The Pacific side is a disaster in the making.

Should I keep using Gifs, or switch back to MP4?

Use whatever is more convenient for you here. But in the season thread only gifs, to avoid auto-loading.

And I should add that your contribution with these animated forecasts is much appreciated. Another one of those things I never bothered to check systematically, and is now being fed in a timely manner to me and many other readers.
Personally it is much easier for me to view the winds and temps this way than to read the atmospheric pressure contours that others find so intuitive.

I agee Oren. Without a background in weather forecasting it's not always easy to interpret those forecast maps Friv and others use. Those charts also lack the details that can be seen on Nullschool.

My apologies for what happened yesterday. That was just an experiment gone bad.

I'm curious to see what those persistent winds on the Atlantic side towards the Laptev will do to the ice. Apart from early on, those winds aren't that strong, but they are persistent and will be blowing over weak ice.

Export through Nares will be on hold for now.

I'm gonna stick to GIfs here as well if it's not a problem for server space on ASIF. They require one less step to make, and that way they don't all together autoload when people visit this thread.

And so it begins... We went from a 2 days storm to no storm and back to a five day storm now. It does weaken after a few days, but who is to say it can't find more energy to grow some more? Only time will tell...

I'm very surprised that this storm isn't growing bigger with all that energy around. But that's probably my lack of knowledge about those weather systems.

It'll be interesting to see what will happen to the ice NE of Greenland. HYCOM is saying that the ice there is very weak. Time will tell...

True that and just imagine what will happen to the now slightly dispersed ice in warmer surrounding seas.

Area is on the drop and lowest already and won't fall back anytime soon and extent will follow suit with a few major successive drops once the dispersed junks of ice hat a few days time to melt.

Of course we all dunno the weather until it happens but currently it looks that way.

I just figured out that the Nullschool server is down only for the classic menu. The new menu seems to work just fine. But I don't like that menu because it doesn't give me the 3 hour increments I use in my GIFs. It gives one or eight hour increments, and one hour increments would mean a lot more work and bigger GIFs. Or I would have to click 3 times for every screenshot. So much hassle, and more chance for mistakes...

I contacted Cameron on Twitter. Hope he can put the old menu server back online. If not, I'll have to get used to the new format and figure out a new normal.
