Alaska Storm Surge
Color code depicts wind speed; Graphic credit: TropicalTidbits.com
A large storm is barreling into Western Alaska this week. Heavy rain and strong wind is expected. Gusts of 65-80 mph are possible.
Currently, the vast majority of Western Alaska is devoid of snow. The entire western coast has no sea ice. The ice would normally offer some protection from coastal erosion. The high winds will certainly set back any sea ice growth.
Gale force winds are expected to continue in the impacted areas through Wednesday.
That is one impressive system.
