Sea ice extent in the Bering remains near record high levels in the eastern Bering Sea but well below normal on the Russian side in NSIDC data. Large area of open water now extends into the Gulf of Anadyr. Change is coming for the southeast Bering Sea as a couple of storms this week to bring periods of south winds. @Climatologist49 @ZLabe
