Description:
Confidence is building in this storm taking a more southerly track
towards the Yukon Delta Wednesday evening, with model guidance
coalescing around the low reaching Norton Sound by late Wednesday
night/early Thursday morning. 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 as it looks to
strengthen a bit before landfall, then west-northwest winds as
the low passes through. We will continue to update as necessary
throughout the week.
