Scammon Bay

Special Weather Statement issued November 7 at 2:38PM AKST by NWS Fairbanks AK A strong low pressure system moving into the Western Bering Sea will bring elevated water levels 1 to 3 feet above the normal high tide line on Saturday and Sunday. The highest water levels will be with the high tide each afternoon from Nunam Iqua south including Scammon Bay, Hooper Bay, and Chevak. Winds will be primarily offshore from the southeast, but larger than normal tide cycles due to the recent full moon and the strength of the storm will bring in elevated water. The strongest winds will not coincide with the highest water levels, so significant wave run-up or coastal flooding are not expected.
