A north Pacific low moved into the Bering and tracked northeastward into the Kuskokwim Delta Coast. Southerly winds increased to gale force strength and combined with high tides and a lack of sea ice to cause coastal flooding that inundated many boardwalks and low lying areas in Kwigillingok, Alaska on January 10th. Snow machine trails were submerged as well.
