...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... 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, 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 Sunday morning, which should end ash resuspension.
