Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
September 21, 2026 - 4:00pm
Expires:
September 22, 2026 - 5:00pm
Description:
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.
