Near shore #SeaIce at Utqiaġvik slowly melting Wednesday early afternoon in the webcam pix courtesy University of Alaska. Fairbanks. A large slab of ice about 3 miles (4.5km) offshore broke away late Tuesday evening. With light to moderate east to northeast winds likely into the weekend, more break-offs are likely in coming days. #akwx #Arctic #Alaska

@AlaskaWx @Climatologist49 @cinderbdt I’m curious is it going to be a bad winter for Sitka?
@LordsofHardwired @Climatologist49 @cinderbdt El Niño winters tilt the odds to be stormier in the Gulf of Alaska during the cold season. Whether that sets up predominately on the Kodiak side or the Sitka side only time will tell.
