KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST AND NUNIVAK ISLAND — * WHAT...Water levels of 1 to 2 feet above the normal highest tide line.
* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta Coast, including Kipnuk, Kwigillingok and Kongiganak.
* WHEN...Until 10 AM AKDT today, highest water levels expected during each upcoming high tide through this morning.
* IMPACTS...Nuisance flooding of low-lying areas. Coastal erosion is possible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Steady south to southwesterly flow is expected to continue for the Kuskokwim Delta coastline through this morning. Coastal erosion and perhaps nuisance flooding of low-lying areas will be possible with high tide due to the persistent onshore winds. Possible maximum water levels of between 1 and 2 ft above the normal highest tide line, including in and around Kipnuk and Kwigillingok. A brief break in winds and thus, elevated water levels occurs late today, but a second round of elevated water levels and persistent southerly winds are forecast with the arrival of yet another front late Thursday into Friday.
