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

Strong northwesterly winds up to 45 mph have developed across
Shelikof Strait. These winds are resuspending ash from the 1912
Katmai-Novarupta eruption, potentially causing haze and trace
amounts of ash accumulation. The villages of Karluk, Larsen Bay
and Akhiok are most likely to be impacted.

Those in sensitive groups or with respiratory ailments are
encouraged to avoid or reduce outdoor activity to avoid inhaling
the ash. The winds will weaken slowly through Tuesday, which
should end ash resuspension.
