...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM AKDT THIS AFTERNOON... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 4 AM AKDT TUESDAY... * WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 3 to 5 feet above the normal high tide line. * WHERE...Southern Seward Peninsula Coast. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 1 PM AKDT Sunday. For the High Surf Advisory, from 1 PM Sunday to 4 AM AKDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Local government officials have reported minor flooding is occurring along Council Road east of Nome, causing road damage beyond mile 8, which has caused the closure of the road beyond that point. Additionally, minor beach erosion is occurring. For Nome and Golovin, water levels have recently peaked and will gradually drop into Sunday. While water levels remain near their apex at this time, in Nome, this can result in water approaching low-lying homes in Belmont Subdivision with standing water expected in the port area. For Golovin, water may inundate any beach property but the roads, buildings and residences should not be impacted as the water remains below the berm. Even though water levels drop somewhat, they will remain normal through early next week. Localized beach erosion may occur. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...South to southwest winds will continue to gust up to 40 mph through the weekend. Strong winds continue into early next week.
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
