A strong storm moving through the Bering Sea will push a strong front across the West Coast Monday evening into Tuesday. Along with the front a surge of water will move to the coast producing coastal flooding in the Norton Sound Region.

Surface...A strong low will move to the Western Gulf of Anadyr by Monday evening and deepen to 955 mb, then north along the Dateline to Wrangel Island Wednesday morning at 971 mb. The low in the Bering Sea will send a weather front to the southwest mainland coast Monday morning. Strong southwest flow will develop across the Central and Eastern Bering Sea Monday evening and persist through Wednesday. Arctic Coast and Brooks Range...As a strong low moves towards Wrangel Island on Tuesday, the western north slope could see near Blizzard conditions from Wainwright west and also in the Brooks Range passes.
