...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM AKST MONDAY... * WHAT...Water levels as high as 2 to 3 feet above the normal highest tide line. * WHERE...Along the Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island. * WHEN...Through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Coastal flooding of low lying areas and erosion are possible. Flood waters may impede upon displaced structures. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Southeasterly winds reaching 40 mph along the coast will continue through Monday morning. This will lead to coastal flood impacts such as storm surge and flooding. Structures not elevated off the ground may be more vulnerable to flood waters. In Kwigillingok, when water levels rise above 2 ft, access to the airstrip and portions of the community could be threatened (via roads and boardwalks). While winds and storm surge will diminish this afternoon, lingering gusty southeast winds and high tide tonight may limit water drainage and keep water levels elevated into Monday morning.
A coastal flood advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
