...ELEVATED WATER LEVELS POSSIBLE FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND
KUSKOKWIM BAY THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...

Gale force southerly winds with gusts to 55 mph will continue 
along the Kuskokwim Delta coast through this evening as a surface
low moves north from the Pribilof Islands to north of Saint 
Lawrence Island. This will bring the potential for elevated water 
levels of 2 to 4 feet above the normal highest tide line.

Although there is extensive areal ice coverage along the coast,
there is still the potential for water to move on top of ice and
push onshore in areas free of ice. Trails that cross the ice along
the coast may become covered in water. Ice could also push onto
the coast, especially along south and west facing coastlines.

Residents along the coast should monitor conditions for potential
impacts and stay tuned to the latest forecast updates at
