Arctic cyclone warning for September 7
Paul Beckwith warns that another cyclone is forecast to develop in the Arctic by September 7th, 2012, pointing at the image below, from the Naval Research Laboratory.
“This will cause lots of sea ice breakup in the Arctic if it develops and persists”, Paul says. “The sea ice now is thinner than in August, so the potential for severe damage to ice exists. On the other hand, however, the August cyclone lasted for a week, while this one looks like a 2 to 3 day event.”
Paul also points at the image further below, from weather.unisys.com/gfsx, showing a 9 day GFSx model for Arctic region; on the website you can select single day panels

(There's a reason that they use it for inert packing material and it becomes apparent
after a large amount!)
