...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN 

KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...



Strong northwesterly winds up to 45 mph have developed across 

Shelikof Strait. These winds are resuspending ash from the 1912 

Katmai-Novarupta eruption, potentially causing haze and 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 will weaken slowly through Tuesday, which 

should end ash resuspension.
