...Elevated Water Levels Monday and Tuesday...

A Bering Sea low will move into the Gulf of Anadyr then the 
Chukchi Sea on Monday. South-southwest winds will increase water 
levels to around 1 to 3 feet above the normal high tide line 
during the Monday and Tuesday high tides in the Seward Peninsula. 
Water levels around 2 to 4 feet above the normal high tide line 
are possible from Kotzebue to Kivalina. There is still quite a bit
of uncertainty with the exact water level heights and they will 
be monitored over the next few days.
