Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 8 at 9:45PM PDT until October 13 at 3:00PM PDT by NWS San Francisco CA
* WHAT...Up to 1.4 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Bayshore locations along the San Francisco and Monterey Bays. * WHEN...From 9 AM Friday to 3 PM PDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. High tides will result in flooding along coastal trails, cut off access to some low- lying beaches and coastal areas, and bring water and waves farther up the beach than typical. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 1.2 ft above normal (7.1 ft MLLW) at 11:22 AM Friday 10/9, 1.4 ft above normal (7.3 ft MLLW) at 11:50 AM Saturday 10/10, 1.3 ft above normal (7.2 ft MLLW) at 12:18 PM Sunday 10/11, 1.2 ft above normal (7.1 ft MLLW) at 12:46 PM Monday 10/12, and 1.1 ft above normal (7.0 ft MLLW) at 1:14 PM Tuesday 10/13. These predictions include up to 1.2 ft of surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat.
