  highest tide line.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta Coast.

* WHEN...Water levels will begin to rise by Friday afternoon and
  remain elevated through Friday night. The highest water levels
  will coincide with high tide Friday evening.

  winds could also push pieces of sea ice up onto the shoreline.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong onshore winds will develop Friday
  afternoon and persist into Friday night. There is low
  confidence in terms of how these winds will interact with the
  sea ice and what degree of coastal flooding will occur.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A coastal flood advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
