  tide line.

* WHERE...Along the Kuskokwim Delta coast, including the

* WHEN...11 AM AKDT Monday through 6 PM AKDT Monday.

* IMPACTS...Coastal erosion and flooding of low lying areas is
  likely.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Gale force southerly winds will lead to
  high water levels along the Kuskokwim Delta coast during the
  Monday afternoon high tide. Half an inch to 1.25 inches of
  rainfall are also forecast for the area through Monday
  afternoon, which may fill low-lying areas that normally take
  on water during lower level coastal flooding events, resulting
  in higher than normal water levels in addition to the onshore
  surge. Water levels decrease Monday evening with a receding
  tide and diminishing southerly winds.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A coastal flood advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
