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

A Bering Sea low will move into the Gulf of Anadyr Sunday then 
into 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.
