* WHERE...Northern Bristol Bay Coast.
* WHEN...10 AM Friday to 7AM Saturday
* IMPACTS...Nuisance flooding of low lying areas. Coastal erosion is possible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A Bering front arrives to the Southwest Alaska coast Friday morning, bringing a prolonged period of strong southerly winds towards the coast. These winds will result in elevated water levels and high surf. This period of winds will coincide with two tidal cycles and push water levels 1.0 to 2.0 feet above the normal highest tide line. Water levels are expected to quickly drop off Saturday morning as winds decrease, alleviating coastal concerns.
