... Coastal Flood Watch remains in effect from late Wednesday night through Friday afternoon...
A coastal Flood Watch remains in effect from late Wednesday night through Friday afternoon.
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 onshore flow to develop across the middle Chesapeake Bay area.
The approaching new phase of the moon... in tandem with the strong onshore flow... will lead to increasing tidal anomalies of around 2 ft above normal... beginning late Wednesday night and continuing through Friday afternoon. This will likely result in minor to moderate coastal flooding... with the greatest threat coming with the Thursday and Friday high tide cycles. Impacts are expected to be well below those experienced during Isabel and Ernesto... in most cases by 1.5 to 2 feet.
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.
