...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR MINOR TIDAL OVERFLOW IN EFFECT
UNTIL 10 PM PST THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Tidal overflow flooding.

* WHERE...Clatsop and Tillamook Coast.

* WHEN...Until 10 PM PST this evening.

* IMPACTS...Minor flooding, up to one foot above ground level,
during high tides is expected in the low lying areas near bays,
sloughs, roads, and the lower reaches of the coastal rivers.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Even though the Tongue Point tidal gauge is
expected to rise near 7.2 ft Thursday evening and the Garibaldi
tidal gauge is expected to rise near 6.9 ft Thursday evening,
rivers are at least 80% of flood flow. In addition, lingering
rainfall rates up to 0.10 inch per hour continue through 5 to 7
PM, which will contribute to further river rises.

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that tidal overflow flooding is
expected. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water, and take appropriate action to protect life and
property.
