## extract

Special Weather Statement — Kodiak Island Southwest
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
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,
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
the ash. The winds should weaken and shift briefly on Tuesday, but
another round of stronger winds may develop Tuesday night into
Wednesday, which may lead to more ash transport. Stay tuned.
