Kenai Peninsula

Special Weather Statement issued August 29 at 7:38PM AKDT by NWS Anchorage AK

August 29th, 7:38 PM — 12:00 PM

Strong northwesterly winds have developed across Shelikof Strait and the waters around southern Kodiak Island. These winds are resuspending ash from the 1912 Katmai-Novarupta eruption, potentially causing haze and trace amounts of ash accumulation. The villages of Karluk and Larsen Bay 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. The winds will weaken slowly through the day Sunday with rain moving over the Alaska Peninsula Sunday afternoon. This rain will wet the ash and should prevent further resuspension. Looking ahead, more strong winds and dry conditions will develop Monday morning and continue through as late as Tuesday. This may generate more resuspended ash. Stay tuned for updates.
