Bulletin details
Confidence is growing in the potential for a strong coastal storm to take a more northerly track through the Bering Sea mid-week. Depending on the final track of the system, minor to moderate coastal flooding impacts may be a possible for parts of the West Coast, with sea level rises between 3 to 7 ft possible. In addition to the coastal impact potential, periods of moderate to heavy snow and strong winds could begin as early as Tuesday night and last into Friday. The combination of winds and heavy snow could lead to reduced visibilities at times. We will continue to monitor this system closely and provide updates as additional information becomes available.
