Nearly 50-foot waves and tides up to 13 feet are expected as the dangerous storm brings hundreds of miles of hurricane-force winds.
Alaska braces for"near worst case coastal flooding scenario" as massive storm may bring worst flooding in nearly 50 yearsAlaska is bracing for dangerous weather as the remnants of Typhoon Merbok move toward the Bering Sea region. Forecasters predict that the storm, set to hit on Friday, could bring"potentially historical" flooding, with some coastal areas seeing water levels up to 11 feet higher than the normal high tide.
"Latest models show coastal surge higher than the November 2011 storm that brought significant flooding to the area," the National Weather Service forecasted early Friday morning, adding that the flooding could be"potentially historical." "This is a dangerous storm that will produce widespread coastal flooding south of the Bering strait with water levels above those seen in nearly 50 years," the service said.
The state is expected to see hurricane-force winds with gusts up to 90 mph, according to the service, and wave heights up to 48 feet. Coastal flooding could go beyond 12 feet over the western mainland. Depending on the location, other areas can see gusts between 40 and 80 miles per hour between Friday and Saturday night.
