Continued southerly, onshore flow into the Kuskokwim Delta coast is expected. Winds increase tonight, peaking by Friday evening with gusts to 45 mph. This continued push of wind is expected to amplify the tidal cycle, potentially pushing water levels higher than the normal highest tide line. Coastal erosion and flooding of low lying areas is possible. Wind speeds are expected to weaken and shift easterly by late this weekend. We will continue to monitor the forecast as the storm develops. Coastal residents should stay alert, and take appropriate action to prepare for potential water rises.
