Strong winds and flooding are causing what the National Weather Service described as “significant impacts” in parts of Alaska’s western coast on Saturday as a “powerful and significant” storm threatens the region.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has imposed coastal flood warnings from parts of southwest Alaska all the way up to the Chukchi Sea coast in northwest Alaska, warning further that elevated water levels will likely be slow to recede.
