* WHAT…Water levels as high as 3 to 6 feet above the normal
highest tide line.
* WHERE…Kuskokwim Delta Coast.
* WHEN…Water levels will begin to rise by Friday afternoon and
remain elevated through Friday night. The highest water levels
will coincide with high tide Friday evening.
* IMPACTS…Water could push up through gaps in the ice and
cause localized flooding for communities along the coast,
particularly between Kipnuk and Kwigillingok. Strong onshore
winds could also push pieces of sea ice up onto the shoreline.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Strong onshore winds will develop Friday
afternoon and persist into Friday night. There is low
confidence in terms of how these winds will interact with the
sea ice and what degree of coastal flooding will occur.
