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 west-
southwest winds as the system looks to strengthen a bit before
landfall. We will continue to update as necessary throughout the
week.
