Timing of heaviest rain: For Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay, tonight into Monday. For Alaska Peninsula and Southwest interior (Lake Iliamna region and along the Western Alaska Range), Monday into Tuesday. Winds and water levels: For coastal areas from west of Dillingham to the Western Capes (including the communities of Togiak, Goodnews Bay, and Platinum), southerly sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph will persist from this evening through Monday afternoon.
