Sheldon, South Carolina

... Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from 5 am to 10 am EST
Monday...

The National Weather Service in Charleston has issued a coastal
Flood Advisory... which is in effect from 5 am to 10 am EST
Monday.

Elevated tides will once again impact the southern South Carolina
and southeast Georgia coasts Monday morning. The combination of
high astronomical tides and remnant swells from a departing storm
well off the coast of the southeast United States... will continue
to enhance the tidal departures during the high tide cycle Monday
morning. High tide will occur around 713 am EST in Charleston
Harbor... 719 am EST at the Savannah River entrance... and 828 am
EST in Beaufort.

Tide levels are expected to reach between 7.5 and 7.7 feet mean
lower low water in the Charleston Harbor... producing moderate
coastal flooding along parts of the southern South Carolina coast.
Salt water will rise into yards... streets and driveways across
parts of downtown Charleston... especially in locations that often
experience flooding during the high tide events. Many other
coastal locations will also be impacted... including but not
limited to Isle of Palms... Sullivans Island... Seabrook
Island... Edisto Island... Edisto Beach... Hunting Island and Ladys
Island near Beaufort. In addition to the coastal flooding
concerns... at least minor beach erosion is expected to occur.

Vehicles that are parked in these flood prone areas should be
moved to higher ground. If traveling Monday morning... pay close
attention for water covering the Road. Never drive through water
of unknown depth.

Tide levels are expected to reach between 9.2 and 9.4 feet mean
lower low water at the Savannah River entrance... producing minor
coastal flooding along parts of the southeast Georgia coast. Salt
water will approach and possibly cover portions of Highway 80
between Savannah and Tybee Island. Other locations that often
experience flooding during the high tide events will likely see
some impacts from the salt water rise as well. In addition to the
coastal flooding concerns... minor beach erosion will also be
possible.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that winds and tides will
combine to generate some salt water flooding of low-lying areas
near the coast. Shallow coastal flooding begins along the
southern South Carolina coast when tides in the Charleston Harbor
reach 7.0 feet mean lower low water and along the northern
Georgia coast when tides reach 9.2 feet mean lower low water at
fort Pulaski.
