Coastal Flood Advisory
Statement as of 3:20 PM EDT on September 8, 2010 |
... Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from 7 PM to 11 PM EDT this evening...
The National Weather Service in Charleston has issued a coastal Flood Advisory... which is in effect from 7 PM to 11 PM EDT this evening.
The combination of onshore winds of 10 to 15 mph and the recent perigean Spring tide will allow for tide levels to reach around 7.0 feet mean lower low water in the Charleston Harbor during the evening high tide. High tide in Charleston will occur at 839 PM EDT... and in Beaufort at 956 PM EDT.
The perigean Spring tide occurs only a few times a year... when the occurrence of the full or new moon coincides with the perigee of the moon. Such was the case early today when the perigee occurred along with the occurrence of the new moon.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that winds and tides will combine to generate some salt water flooding of low-lying areas near the coast. Shallow coastal flooding begins along the southern South Carolina coast when tides in the Charleston Harbor reach 7.0 feet mean lower low water and along the northern Georgia coast when tides reach 9.2 feet mean lower low water at fort Pulaski.
Please contact the National Weather Service in Charleston directly at 1-888-383-2024 if you observed any salt water flooding through 11 PM EDT. You can also email your reports to chs.Skywarn@noaa.Gov or send a tweet to #wxreport.
