Coastal flood and dangerous beach conditions for most along Eastern Seaboard

Coastal flood and dangerous beach conditions for most along Eastern Seaboard

A stagnant weather pattern is leading to a rough week along the Southeast Coast. Strong coastal winds combined with the full moon are increasing the risk for tidal flooding during high tides. Tides will also run higher than normal due to the upcoming full moon and the moon’s closest approach to Earth. This will increase the risk of coastal flooding during high tides, with minor to moderate flooding possible. Charleston Harbor will likely see the worst impacts, but flooding could also occur along the Mid-Atlantic coast and down into Florida. The rip current threat was raised to high from Montauk, NY south to Jacksonville, FL.
