The highest water levels from the second storm could also coincide with high tide from tomorrow evening through Saturday 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 two storms move into the Kuskokwim Delta through Saturday. The first storm brings east to southeast winds gusting as high as 40-50 mph this morning, diminishing today. A second storm moves in between tomorrow evening and Saturday morning with south to southeast winds gusting as high as 40 to 50 mph. While the timing is still uncertain, confidence is growing that this second storm surge will also coincide with high tide. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 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. && $$
