Tidal departures will continue between 2 and 3 feet above normal today. This will lead to moderate to severe flooding around the times of high tide this morning... with minor to moderate flooding then persisting later this morning through the afternoon.
A coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert for rising water... and take appropriate action to protect life and property.
