ground level expected in low- lying areas near shorelines and
tidal waterways.

adjacent to the waterfront will experience shallow flooding. Rip
currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into
deeper water.

which will occur around 1 PM today. Tide levels will continue to
rise with King Tide Cycle in place through the upcoming work-
