• No significant changes. Greatest threats continue to be potential heavy rain and coastal flooding.

Tides remain elevated, and a coastal flood advisory is in effect for all coastal areas as inundation of less than 3 feet will be possible during high tide today
There is some potential for heavy rainfall as the trailing broken rain band moves across the area, especially if the band solidifies and results in a prolonged period of rain
– Trailing and broken bands of rainfall will continue to move through the area today
If the bands solidify and result in a more prolonged period of heavy rain fall over anyone area, flashflooding could still occur
– Water levels should peak lower today than yesterday, but there could still be inundation of less than 3 ft, mainly in the most vulnerable areas during the time of high tide
– Expect tide levels to gradually return to near normal over the next few days
– See slide show for further information.
