Description:
We are monitoring the potential for a coastal storm around
Thursday of this week. There is high uncertainty with the track of
the storm as it could be anywhere from the Yukon Delta to Bering
Strait. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to be a storm that would
come with major impacts. However, there is a chance for minor
coastal impacts and high surf due to gusty southeast winds during
the first half of the storm, then west-northwest winds as the low
passes through. We will continue to update as necessary
throughout the week.
Area Description:
Kivalina and Red Dog Dock; Lower Kobuk Valley; Baldwin Peninsula; Northern Seward Peninsula
