* WHAT...Up to 1.3 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Bayshore locations along San Francisco and Monterey Bay. * WHEN...From 5 AM Wednesday to 2 PM PST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The San Francisco tidal gauge high tide is expected to be 1.02 ft above normal (6.86 ft MLLW) at 7:51 AM Wednesday, 1.21 ft above normal (7.05 ft MLLW) at 8:41 AM Thursday, 1.32 ft above normal (7.16 ft MLLW) at 9:34 AM Friday, 1.29 ft above normal (7.13 ft MLLW) at 10:26 AM Saturday, and 1.08 ft above normal (6.92 ft MLLW) at 11:18 AM Sunday. High tide timing varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and throughout the San Francisco Bay respectively. There is a chance these higher tides coincide with storm surge during an active weather period, so actual tidal levels may be slightly higher than forecast.
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
