...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN
KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH 4PM AKDT THIS AFTERNOON...

Strong northwesterly winds up to 35 mph have persisted across 
Shelikof Strait and the waters around southern Kodiak Island. 
These winds are resuspending ash from the 1912 Katmai- Novarupta 
eruption, potentially causing haze and trace amounts of ash 
accumulation. The villages of Karluk, Larsen Bay, Akhiok are most
likely to be impacted.

Those in sensitive groups or with respiratory ailments are
encouraged to avoid or reduce outdoor activity to avoid inhaling
the ash. The winds will weaken slowly through this afternoon, 
which should end ash resuspension.
