... Coastal Flood Watch in effect from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning...
The National Weather Service in Wakefield has issued a coastal Flood Watch... which is in effect from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning.
A combination of strong high pressure building from the north and remnants of Ida off the southeast coast... will allow an extended period of strong offshore flow to develop along the coast of northeast North Carolina and southeast Virginia.
The approaching new phase of the moon... in tandem with the strong onshore flow... will lead to increasing tidal anomalies of around 2 to 3 ft above normal... beginning Wednesday afternoon and continuing through the successive high tide cycles late in the week.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for flooding are expected to develop. Coastal residents should be alert for later statements or warnings... and take action to protect property.
