QVectorman Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Aren't they about to start Opelio (sp) crab season for Deadliest Catch? I thought it started around Oct. 15. I'm guessing this will be their first big storm of the season on the fishing grounds for the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick7032 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Aren't they about to start Opelio (sp) crab season for Deadliest Catch? I thought it started around Oct. 15. I'm guessing this will be their first big storm of the season on the fishing grounds for the show? Nope they started King Crab season at noon on Oct. 15th. The quota was cut in half this year. Opelio (Snow Crab) starts in January and the quota was doubled for that this year. Those are the "really big storms"....may even hear my voice on it next year....the HF marine broadcasts you here on that show are from either the King Salmon office or my office. They fish north of the Alaska Peninsula mainly in Bristol Bay and the eastern Bering Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick7032 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 This was a decent storm which did verify the warning. I launched in 55 mph and we maxed out at 58 mph here. False Pass had a peak wind of 70 mph. King Cove measured 110 mph and had 20 crab pots weighing 800-1000 lbs each get blown off the stacks they were on. Next week looks interesting too. These storms have been maintaining strength as the cross the Gulf of Alaska. At one point there was High Wind Warnings from Cold Bay in the Alaska Peninsula all the way to southeast Alaska....just an arc of warnings with any zone that touched the water. The first of a series of storms looks to affect the Alaska Peninsula, Gulf Of Alaska/northern Pacific Ocean, southeast Alaska, and perhaps western Canada is beginning to develop.

NIUmetGF Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The Anchorage Forecast Office received a record amount of precipitation and snowfall yesterday. .49 liquid and 6.1 inches of new snow. Snow is still falling and we're expecting another 2-4 inches today! Bring it on. This guy needs to do some skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIUmetGF Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 With a rapidly deepening system moving from the Bering Sea to the Bering Strait, extratropical storm surge is going to be a big issue along the west coast of AK. Especially since the ice pack isn't far south yet. Coastal flooding and erosion are going to be issues with the incoming 940mb storm. Forecast surge for Cape Romanzof AK which is almost a full 6 ft over maximum astronomical tide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE STRONG WINDS WILL PUSH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER INTO NORTON SOUND...RAISING SEA LEVELS TO AS HIGH AS 8 TO 9 FEET ABOVE NORMAL TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE HIGH SEA LEVELS COMBINED WITH HIGH WAVES WILL PRODUCE SEVERE BEACH EROSION AND MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN SHORES OF NORTON SOUND AND ALONG THE BERING STRAIT COAST. HIGH WATER LEVELS WILL PRODUCE COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF NORTON SOUND. STRONG WINDS AND WAVE ACTION MAY PUSH ICE IN NORTON BAY ON SHORE. MODERATELY ELEVATED SEA LEVELS AND HIGH WAVES WILL CAUSE SEVERE BEACH EROSION AND MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTH AND WEST FACING COASTS OF ST LAWRENCE ISLAND TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ALONG THE CHUKCHI SEA COAST FROM CAPE KRUSENSTERN NORTHWEST... SOUTHEAST WINDS GUSTING TO A HIGH AS 70 MPH WILL PRODUCE HIGH WAVES AND SOME ELEVATION OF SEA LEVELS...RESULTING IN SEVERE BEACH EROSION AND MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING.

MTBLANC Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Good morning, I am back after two weeks off in Vancouver. We have -8.5C actually, with temperatures ranging between -29 and -3 in the Yukon. Some snow and colder temperatures are expected for this week.

klw Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Ran into this article from an Anchorage paper about the storm. http://www.adn.com/2...at-western.html The last time forecasters saw something similar was in November 1974, when Nome also took the brunt of the storm. That storm surge measured more than 13 feet, pushing beach driftwood above the level of the previous storm of its type in 1913. Winds from the current storm were expected to push large amounts of water into Norton Sound, raising sea levels 10 feet above normal through Wednesday.
