**Special Weather Statement issued September 21 at 3:00PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK**

We are currently tracking a low that is expected to move through the southern Bering Sea Thursday through Saturday and which could approach the coast of the YK Delta. While the most likely storm track south of our area would result in only modest rises in above normal high water, a further north track could result in high surf potential. As of right now, the southern portion of the YK Delta coast could see water levels rise to around 1 to 3 feet above the mean high water line. We will continue to monitor this system closely.
