Special Weather Statement issued September 21 at 3:00PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK

We are currently tracking a low that is expected to move through the southern Bering Sea Thursday through Saturday and which could approach the coast of the YK Delta. While the most likely storm track south of our area would result in only modest rises in above normal high water, a further north track could result in high surf potential. As of right now, the southern portion of the YK Delta coast could see water levels rise to around 1 to 3 feet above the mean high water line. We will continue to monitor this system closely.

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Big Lake.
