...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN
KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH 10 PM TONIGHT...
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 THROUGH THIS EVENING,
WHICH SHOULD END ASH RESUSPENSION.
