Special Weather Statement issued December 17 at 7:45PM AKST by NWS Anchorage AK
Alert Description
Strong northwesterly winds will continue across Shelikof Strait and the waters around southern Kodiak Island. These winds have resuspended ash from the 1912 Katmai-Novarupta eruption, potentially causing haze and trace amounts of ash accumulation. The villages of Karluk, Larsen Bay, and Akhiok are most likely to be impacted. Those in sensitive groups or with respiratory ailments are encouraged to avoid or reduce outdoor activity to avoid inhaling the ash.
