You can see those winds just beginning to increase there as well.
Melissa FreyCORRESPONDENT
So it is a first alert weather day through Friday for these impacts for the Western Aleutians.
Melissa FreyCORRESPONDENT
We're talking those wind gusts of, uh, 50 to 80 miles per hour, and that potential for coastal flooding as water levels push two to six feet above a normal high tide line.
Melissa FreyCORRESPONDENT
You can see the list of weather alerts is long from that combination of high winds and coastal flooding that we'll see again starting overnight tonight in the Western Aleutians, moving into western Alaska during the day tomorrow, continuing into Friday.
Melissa FreyCORRESPONDENT
So if you have not had a chance to prepare for this storm and you are in western Alaska, again, now is your time to prepare before that moves in overnight tonight.
Melissa FreyCORRESPONDENT
The rest of the state relatively calm.

Uh, but one thing that we are going to be tracking for today is our storm, especially sitting in the Bering Sea.
BaileyUNKNOWN
Now, if you are located in the Western Aleutians, including areas such as Shemya, even Attu, this is where we're really going to see wind speeds ramping up as early as this morning, and strong winds are going to carry all the way through tomorrow evening.
BaileyUNKNOWN
And although your weather alerts might expire by then, it is still important to know that these strong winds are still going to linger throughout your week.
BaileyUNKNOWN
And we are going to track even more strong winds pushing into the central Aleutian chain shortly on later into this afternoon.
