Strong low pressure developed in the Bering Sea and pushed a front through the Bering Strait and to the West Coast of Alaska. The strongest winds were associated with the front. Strong and gusty southerly winds up to 55 mph developing through the Bering Strait, resulted in water levels to rise along the Seward Peninsula coast.
