...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IS CANCELLED...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EST THIS MORNING...

THE MINOR TO MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING THAT OCCURRED LATE YESTERDAY
ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY WAS ENHANCED BY HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS. THE RAIN HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA AND THE WINDS
HAVE DIMINISHED. THE RESIDUAL WATER AND THE TIDAL DEPARTURES HAVE
BEEN LOWERING OVERNIGHT. HIGH TIDES ARE CURRENTLY MOVING UP THE BAY
ONCE AGAIN, BUT ONLY MINOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED IN THE MOST
SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS. THEREFORE, THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING WILL BE
CHANGED TO A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY. THE ADVISORY WILL BE DROPPED
AT 8 AM, ONCE THE CURRENT HIGH TIDE CYCLE HAS ENDED. NO ADDITIONAL
TIDAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED SINCE DEPARTURES WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER
AND WINDS WILL SLOWLY SWING AROUND TO THE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST.

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS PRONE TO
TIDAL FLOODING...BE PREPARED TO MOVE YOUR VEHICLE TO HIGHER
GROUND...ESPECIALLY DURING HIGH TIDE.
