...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN
KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

Strong northwesterly winds up to 40 mph have developed across
Shelikof Strait. These winds are resuspending ash from the 1912
Katmai-Novarupta eruption. Communities on southern Kodiak Island,
including Karluk and Larsen Bay, may observe reduced visibility
through Friday morning as a result of the ash.

Those with respiratory ailments in these areas are encouraged to
avoid or reduce outdoor activity to avoid inhaling the ash through
late this evening. The winds will diminish Sunday morning, which
should allow the ash to settle out of the atmosphere.
