Severity: Minor Urgency: Expected

...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDES... .Peak monthly high tides combined with water levels running higher than predicted will lead to minor flooding along the shoreline and in low-lying coastal areas. Coastal flooding is most likely around the daily peak high tides, which will occur a couple hours after midnight. * WHAT...Isolated minor coastal flooding. * WHERE...Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat ramps, and other coastal infrastructure of all islands. * WHEN...Through late Friday night. * IMPACTS...Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation.

Avoid driving through flooded roadways. If you are forced to drive through salt water, be sure to rinse your vehicle with fresh water. Move electronics, vehicles or other valuables to higher ground.
