COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY

SUNDAY MORNING: 2 AM - 10 AM

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

Minor tidal overflow will produce some minor flooding of low-lying areas along the shoreline for a couple of hours near high tide.    

  • Water levels will rise up to a foot above what starts producing flooding along shorelines.
  • Parks and roadways along the shoreline are most likely to be affected.
  • The threat of beach erosion will be increased. 

TIMING...High tide will generally occur during the early hours of 5 AM - 7 AM Sunday morning.  These conditions may reoccur on Monday morning.
