The National Weather Service has issued a COASTAL FLOOD WARNING for the shoreline in St. Mary’s County that will be in effect from 4AM-1PM Monday, especially around times of high tide.

The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center is forecasting a tide height of over four feet Sunday night. This could lead to up to one and half feet 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 two to two and a half feet above normal. The next two high tides at Point Lookout are at 8:09 PM and 8:16 AM. The next two high tides at Piney Point are at 9:02 PM and 9:03 AM. The next two high tides at Coltons Point are at 9:38 PM and 9:39 AM.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS: Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.
