...Elevated Water Along the Southern Seward Peninsula Coast
through Wednesday...
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.
