...RESUSPENDED ASH FROM KATMAI-NOVARUPTA EXPECTED OVER KODIAK
ISLAND THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

Strong northwesterly winds up to 40 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 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 and shift to the west later this 
afternoon, which should end ash resuspension.
