...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM AKDT
WEDNESDAY...

* IMPACTS...Low lying property including homes, businesses, and
some critical infrastructure will be inundated. Shoreline
erosion will occur.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...There will be multiple peaks in water
levels, with the highest water expected early this morning.
Water levels are expected to rise to 8 to 12 feet above normal
high tide across much of eastern Norton Sound. For Shaktoolik,
water levels of 10 to 13 feet will result in lots of erosion and
breaking waves washing away the sea wall. Water is also expected
to rise across the backside of Shaktoolik near the runway. This
peak this morning will be between 2 AM and 5 AM and about 2 feet
higher then Sunday night, then water will begin to recede. For
Unalakleet, water levels of 8 to 10 feet above normal high tide
will result in water inundating the area around the AC Store, as
well as water backing up the Unalakleet River. Water will peak
between 1 AM and 4 AM this morning about 1.5 feet higher than
Sunday night then begin to recede. For Stebbins and St. Michael,
8 to 12 feet of water above the normal high tide line will
result in water in low- lying areas around town. The highest
water will be between midnight at 6 AM this morning, about 1.5
feet higher than Sunday night, then water will begin to recede.
For Koyuk, water levels are expected to be 10 to 13 feet above
normal high tide line, peaking this morning between 4 and 7 AM,
about 2 feet higher than Sunday night. For Elim, water levels
will be 8 to 12 feet above normal high tide line, peaking
between 2 AM and 6 AM this morning about 1.5 feet higher than
Sunday night`s peak. These water levels are similar to what was
observed during the remnants of Typhoon Merbok in 2022.
