Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement issued March 18 at 1:43PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK
Strong southerly winds will result in elevated water levels along the southern Seward Peninsula coast through Wednesday. This will cause water to rise up through cracks in the sea ice and push water on top of the ice in some areas. Some coastal trails on the ice or near the shore could become inundated with water. Ice shoves may be possible for vulnerable coasts along south-facing coastlines. Residents living along the coast are encouraged to monitor current conditions before venturing out on the sea ice.
