...STRONG WINDS AND ELEVATED WATER LEVELS FROM TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...

* Winds: A front will bring easterly to southeasterly winds
  gusting up to 35-40 mph for the Kuskokwim Delta coast. Winds
  will be strongest Wednesday morning, then decrease by Wednesday
  afternoon. Confidence is high that this storm will NOT be as
  strong as former Typhoon Halong.

* Coastal water levels: Little to no coastal flooding is expected
  with this storm. Onshore winds could cause water levels to be
  1-3 feet above the normal highest tide line in Kwigillingok and
  Kongiganak during Wednesday morning`s high tide. Previously
  flooded and/or low-lying areas may see a small increase in water
  levels and could be slow to drain. For other communities, this
  wind direction rarely causes flooding.

* Preparedness: Secure loose debris that may be blown about by
  strong winds. Move items that are near the coast further inland
  or to higher ground. Stay tuned to the forecast. Help share
  weather information with people whose communication networks may
  have been affected by the recent storm.
