Wind Advisory
Issued: 1:44 PM Aug. 27, 2026 – National Weather Service
...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PM AKDT FRIDAY... * WHAT...South to southwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected, mainly near the coast. * WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta, Western Capes, and Northern Bristol Bay Coast. * WHEN...From 10 AM this morning to 4 PM AKDT Friday. * IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and a few power outages may result. Travel could be difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong front is on the approach to the Southwest Alaska coastline this morning, and will bring southerly to southwesterly winds that are expected to gust to 50 mph, mainly for coastal areas. The strongest winds look to push into Kuskokwim Bay and across the Delta this afternoon into the evening before this corridor of winds shifts farther south and over Bristol Bay tonight. With a long fetch of high end small craft and gale force winds, this will result in higher waves and rough seas along the Kuskokwim Bay coast. Even though winds are expected to slowly decrease later Friday morning, high seas coinciding with high tide Friday afternoon will likely push water levels 1 to 2 feet above the normal high tide line for the Kuskokwim Bay coast. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Secure outdoor objects. &&
