Brought to you by Calvert Title Company

The National Weather Service has issued a COASTAL FLOOD WATCH for the shoreline in St. Mary’s County that will be in effect from late Sunday night through Monday morning, especially around times of high tide.

The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center is forecasting a tide height of over three and a half feet Sunday evening. This could lead to up to one-half foot of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas due to tidal flooding.

IMPACTS: At 3.0 feet, yards are flooded on Saint George Island, and water will begin covering the road leading to the island, especially if there is wave action.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Tides one and a half to three feet above normal. The next two high tides at Point Lookout are at 7:14 PM and 7:21 AM. The next two high tides at Piney Point are at 8:10 PM and 8:04 AM. The next two high tides at Coltons Point are at 8:46 PM and 8:40 AM.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS: If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
