...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN
KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...
STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WINDS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS SHELIKOF STRAIT

CAUSING HAZE AND POTENTIALLY 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

ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONGER WINDS MAY DEVELOP TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
