AKSevereExpectedLikelyIn force from Sep 24, 4:00 AM AKDT

The full text and what to do

* WHAT...Water levels on average of 1.5 to 2.5 feet above the normal highest tide line near Kwigillingok. Southeast winds 35 to 45 mph with gusts up to 60 mph expected Thursday. South winds 30 to 40 mph with gusts to 50 mph expected Friday.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta Coast including Kwigillingok and Kipnuk.

* WHEN...From 4 AM Thursday to 4 AM Saturday.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...There will be multiple peaks in water levels for the Kuskokwim Delta Thursday morning through Saturday morning coinciding with high tide cycles and strong southerly winds. Southeast winds 35 to 45 mph with gusts to 60 mph Thursday afternoon will diminish early Friday until the low pressure system moves west of the coast by Friday afternoon. Then, winds will become southerly at 30 to 40 mph with gusts to 50 mph by Friday afternoon. Winds gradually weaken but remain southerly through Saturday.

For Kwigillingok, water levels reach 1.5 to 2.5 feet above the normal highest tide line on Thursday, coinciding with the passage of a frontal system. Water levels could reach up to 5 feet in a worst case scenario. If water levels rise to 2.5 feet, impacts would be comparable to the August 2024 storm.

For Kipnuk, the highest water levels of 1 to 2 feet above the normal highest tide line are expected on Friday as a low pressure system moves west of the coast and winds become southerly. Water levels could reach 2 to 3 feet in a worst case scenario.

Flood Watch1

Flood Watch

Until Sep 26, 1:00 PM AKDT

Interior Kuskokwim Delta

AKSevereFuturePossibleIn force from Sep 23, 1:18 PM AKDT

The full text and what to do

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Interior Kuskokwim Delta, including Kwethluk, Kasigluk, Bethel, Napaskiak, Napakiak, Oscarville, and other nearby villages.

* WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive rain in combination of persistent high water levels and storm surge may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A strong storm projected to move into the eastern Bering Sea will bring heavy rainfall and storm surge to the area. The Kuskokwim River is currently running high, with statistics showing the river is already above the 90th percentile in flow for this time of year. 1 to 2 inches of rainfall across the Kilbuck Mountains, as well as across the lower Kuskokwim, is likely to exacerbate high water levels for the Kwethluk River, Johnson River / tundra villages, as well as other smaller tributaries and sloughs of the Kuskokwim.

Confidence is moderate-to-high that flooding of low-lying areas will occur for Kwethluk and Kasigluk, where high-water was reported last week. Confidence is lower for flooding elsewhere and will be dependent on the rainfall amount and degree of compounding effects from coastal surge and tide cycle.

What to do

Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.
