...STORMY WEATHER ALONG THE ARCTIC COAST LATE THIS WEEK...
A WEATHER FRONT IS GOING TO MOVE ACROSS THE ARCTIC COAST THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS COULD BRING SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ALONG
WITH WEST WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH. THIS COULD CAUSE SEA LEVELS TO RISE
ONE FOOT WITH MODERATE SURF AND MINOR BEACH EROSION.
A SECOND STRONGER STORM COULD AFFECT THE ARCTIC COAST ON THE
WEEKEND WHICH COULD BRING STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS TO THE COAST
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. THERE IS STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY ON
THIS SECOND STORM...BUT DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OPEN WATER
NORTH OF THE COAST IT'S DEVELOPMENT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED.
