Coastal Flood Advisory issued January 17 at 1:49PM 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 storm will coincide with high tide from tonight through tomorrow morning. * 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 a second storm moves into the Kuskokwim Delta this evening through tomorrow morning with south to southeast winds gusting as high as 40 to 50 mph. This storm surge is looking to coincide with the timing of high tide. Stay tuned to the forecast. Protect items by moving them further inland or to higher ground. Monitor conditions and be prepared to take action if you live in or near lower-lying areas that may flood.
