...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDE THROUGH TUESDAY... .Peak monthly high tides combined with water levels that are running higher than predicted will lead to minor flooding along the shoreline and in low-lying coastal areas. Coastal flooding is possible around the daily peak tide, which will be during the late afternoon and early evening hours. * WHAT...Isolated minor coastal flooding expected. * WHERE...Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat ramps and other coastal infrastructure. * WHEN...Around the daily peak tides during the late afternoon and early evening hours through Tuesday evening. * IMPACTS...Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, some minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation of low-lying roads, docks, boat ramps, and other coastal infrastructure.

Do not drive through flooded roadways. Owners of properties in low-lying shoreline areas or near waterways should consider moving any electronics, vehicles, or other valuables to higher ground. Boaters should monitor vessels to ensure mooring lines don't get too tight and be aware of overwash around boat ramps at high tide. Any recreational watercraft on beaches, such as canoes, should be secured or moved.
