...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO
10 AM AKDT WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Water levels as high as 1.5 to 4.0 feet above the normal
  highest tide line. Southwest winds 35 to 45 mph with gusts up
  to 60 mph expected.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta Coast, including Kwigillingok,
  Kongiganak, Kipnuk, Toksook Bay, and Tununak.

* WHEN...From 1 PM Monday to 10 PM Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Coastal flooding of low lying areas and erosion are
  possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The previously issued High Surf Advisory
  has been replaced with this Coastal Flood Advisory. A rapidly
  deepening, broad low pressure system centered west of the
  Pribilof Islands is on track to send a strong corridor of 25 to
  35 mph south to southwest winds towards the Kuskokwim Delta
  Coast by early this afternoon. Winds quickly increase this
  evening and overnight to 35 to 45 mph with gusts to 60 mph
  expected. Coinciding with 2 high tide cycles, water levels along
  the Kuskokwim Delta Coast will be up to 4 feet above the normal
  high tide line. As the low makes progress northward Tuesday
  morning, winds will maintain their magnitude but shift to out
  of the west, which will raise water levels for Toksook Bay and
  Tununak up to 4 feet above the normal high tide line as well.
  Conditions will begin to improve Wednesday morning as the low
  exits the region. Additionally, periods of moderate to heavy
  rainfall will compound coastal impacts for the advisory
  duration.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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