With the full moon and winter solstice, we are getting King Tides - a foot or two higher and lower than normal. Add the wind and we get this from Island County:
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY
SUNDAY MORNING: 2 AM - 10 AM
A Coastal Flood Advisory means that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
Minor tidal overflow will produce some minor flooding of low-lying areas along the shoreline for a couple of hours near high tide.
-
- Water levels will rise up to a foot above what starts producing flooding along shorelines.
- Parks and roadways along the shoreline are most likely to be affected.
- The threat of beach erosion will be increased.
TIMING...High tide will generally occur during the early hours of 5 AM - 7 AM Sunday morning. These conditions may reoccur on Monday morning.
Fortunately, this will be confined to the South of the island. Planning a quick trip to MF tomorrow to move the totes that I had already packed. A quick up, over (condo) and down.
