around 3 to 5 inches for the Central Interior with higher amounts
over the hills east of Fairbanks.
Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...A strong storm developing
to the western Bering Sea today will move to the Northern Bering
Sea tonight, then into the Central Chukchi Sea on Monday, and then
north of Utqiagvik on Tuesday. This storm will bring south winds
of 50 to 70 mph to the West Coast of Alaska on Monday. This could
water levels along the coast to rise 3 to 5 feet from Shishmaref
to Kivalina. This will likely cause water to flow on top of the
sea ice and river ice near the coast, and could cause minor
flooding of low lying areas near the coast such as around the
lagoon at Kotzebue.
Flooding of infrastructure is not expected but people should move
valuables to higher ground. People should be alert for water
pushing on top of snow machine trails that run over ice or along
the coast.
Extended Forecast for Days 4 Through 7...High pressure progged
to build into the Aleutians and Bering Sea next week, but will be
dampened as an upper level shortwave rides its periphery and
pushes some moisture into the Interior Tuesday and Wednesday.
High pressure rebuilds over the west coast and unsettled weather
and winds possible for the north slope and Brooks range later in
the week.
