Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 225 AM AKDT Tue May 14 2024 AKZ815>817-820>822-824-827-150000- Kivalina and Red Dog Dock-Lower Kobuk Valley-Baldwin Peninsula- Shishmaref-Bering Strait Coast-Southern Seward Peninsula Coast- Eastern Norton Sound and Nulato Hills-St Lawrence Island- Including Kivalina, Red Dog Dock, Noorvik, Selawik, Kiana, Kotzebue, Shishmaref, Diomede, Wales, Brevig Mission, Teller, Nome, White Mountain, Golovin, Unalakleet, Stebbins, St Michael, Elim, Koyuk, Shaktoolik, Gambell, and Savoonga 225 AM AKDT Tue May 14 2024 ...Elevated Surf possible Today into Wednesday... Strong south to southwest winds will cause water levels to increase 2-4 feet along the Bering and Chukchi Sea coasts. Shorefast ice is still in place along much of the coast and may lift the ice and locally push it ashore, especially on south and southwest facing coastlines. Additionally, water may flood the ice surface and could impact any equipment/huts remaining on the ice. High surf is possible in some locations wher there is little or no shorefast ice. From the Bering Strait north, the sea ice is more extensive and the risk of coastal impacts will be lower than the south of the Bering Strait. Residents near the coast should be vigilant of these potential impacts and stay tuned to the latest forecast updates at www.weather.gov/afg $$
