line.

* 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…Winds will turn westerly this afternoon and
strengthen during high tide late this evening, posing the
greatest threat for flooding impacts. Winds weaken but remain
westerly for high tide Monday evening.
