Please be advised that the National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for Thursday evening through Friday. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect from Friday December 21 at 1:00 AM until Friday December 22 at 1:00 AM. Average rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches are expected, and rain could be intense at times. Any intense rainfall of greater than 0.8 inch per hour may result in flash flooding.
A coastal flood advisory is also in effect from Friday December 21 at 5:00 AM until 8:00 AM with morning high tides predicted of 1 to 2 feet above normal conditions. The combination of intense rainfall at high tide increases the likelihood of flooding in low-lying areas.
