A coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 5 am CST
Wednesday.
Moderate to strong northeast to north flow will occur along the
coast today which will promote piling of water along the coastal
Bend. Water levels during high tide today are expected to
increase to 2 to 2 1/4 feet above mean sea level along area
beaches. This will cause flooding of the beaches with water
reaching the dunes during high tide. Some flooding of park access
roads and parking lots will be possible and some minor beach
erosion may occur with this event.
Residents should refrain from driving or camping on area beaches
today and tonight to avoid the potential of becoming trapped by
rising waters. Water levels should fall late tonight as a coastal
low pulls away and northwest winds develop. Since the event will
be relatively short lived... water levels are not expected to
increase enough to cause significant impacts around the bays.
The next significant high tide will occur around 430 PM CST this
afternoon.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
