Bulletin details
Confidence is building in this storm taking a more southerly track towards the Yukon Delta Wednesday evening, with model guidance coalescing around the low reaching Norton Sound by late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to be a storm that would come with major impacts. However, there is a chance for minor coastal impacts and high surf due to gusty west- southwest winds as the system looks to strengthen a bit before landfall. We will continue to update as necessary throughout the week.
