...COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...

Coastal flooding, associated with a combination of King tides and
higher than normal water levels, will be a possibility through 
the upcoming holiday weekend. The greatest potential for coastal 
flooding impacts will be during the peak daily high tide, which 
will occur during the mid- to late-afternoon hours the next 
several days. 

Water levels at the Honolulu tidal station are currently running 
about 0.7 feet higher than predicted values. Visit 
tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov for forecast tides and water levels for
your area.

Impacts of the King tides may include flooding of beach areas 
that are normally dry, salt water inundation of typically 
vulnerable low-lying roads, docks, boat ramps and other coastal 
infrastructure. The potential for coastal flooding will diminish 
early next week as the peak daily tides diminish.
