The coastal flood warning will be in effect from 4 p.m. Oct. 10 to 1 a.m. Oct. 12.
One to two feet of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
A coastal flood warning means that moderate or major tidal flooding is occurring or imminent. Be prepared for rising water levels and take appropriate action to protect life and property. Follow the recommendations of local emergency management officials.
