Coastal Flood Advisory issued January 15 at 3:58PM AKST until January 18 at 4:00PM AKST by NWS Anchorage AK

* WHAT…Water levels up to 4 feet above the normal highest tide
line.

* WHERE…Kuskokwim Delta Coast, especially Kwigillingok and
Kongiganak.

* WHEN…The highest water levels from the first storm will
coincide with high tide Thursday night through early Friday
morning. The highest water levels from the second storm could
occur from Friday night through Saturday morning, but confidence
is lower on timing.

* IMPACTS…Impacts could be similar to those from the recent
January 10 flood event. Water could push up through gaps in the
ice and cause localized flooding for coastal communities,
particularly between Kipnuk and Kwigillingok. Strong onshore
winds could also push pieces of sea ice up onto the shoreline.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Coastal flooding is possible as two storms
move into Kuskokwim Delta from Thursday night through Saturday.
The first storm will bring east to southeast winds gusting as
high as 40-50 mph from Thursday evening through Friday morning.
Confidence is medium to high that a second storm will move in
between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, though confidence
is lower regarding water levels and whether the strongest
onshore winds will coincide with high tide.
