* WHAT...Isolated minor coastal flooding.
* WHERE...Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat ramps
and other coastal infrastructure.
* WHEN...Late morning through early afternoon hours that are
centered around the daily peak tides through Monday.

Avoid driving through flooded roadways. If you are forced to
drive through salt water, be sure to rinse your vehicle with
fresh water. Owners of properties in low lying shoreline areas or

mooring lines don't get too tight and watch out for overwash
around boat ramps. Secure canoes or other watercraft stowed on
beaches.
