Coastal Flood Statement
Statement as of 9:35 AM CST on November 10, 2009
The remnants of Ida are moving north and east of the area bringing gale force wind from the north over area bays and waterways. Some tide stations report that tides 2 to 3 feet above normal are still occurring although they are decreasing rapidly. The presence of high tides will affect port operations and vessel handling through this afternoon which includes the coastal waters out to 60 nm off Alabama and northwest Florida... as well as Mobile Bay. Later this morning and this afternoon the tide level may fall significantly below normal due to the effect of strong north winds pushing water out of the bays. Such conditions could risk vessels becoming aground... blocking vital intakes and fittings. Mariners... especially large vessel operators at anchor... moored... or operating in water depth near vessel draft should watch for unusually low tides through this evening.
