...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 from Wainwright to
Utqiagvik. Water levels around 2 to 4 feet above the normal high
tide line are possible from Point Lay to Point Hope. Secondly,
winds will shift west-northwest Tuesday afternoon which can
prolong high water levels into Wednesday. There is still quite a
bit of uncertainty with the exact water level heights and they
will be monitored over the next few days.
