...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN
AND WESTERN KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

Strong northwesterly winds with gusts up to 55 mph have developed
across Shelikof Strait. The wind is resuspending ash from the
1912 Katmai-Novarupta eruption and transporting the ash across
Shelikof Strait and southwest Kodiak Island. Resuspended ash will
will lead to hazy conditions and may also lead to trace amounts of
ash accumulation. The villages of Karluk, Larsen Bay, and Akhiok
are most likely to be impacted.

Those with respiratory ailments in these areas are encouraged to
avoid or reduce outdoor activity to avoid inhaling the ash. The
winds are expected to diminish starting Wednesday evening, which
should allow any ash to settle out of the air.
