Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 27 at 7:17AM PDT until October 27 at 3:00PM PDT by NWS Eureka CA

* WHAT...High astronomical tides will cause minor flooding in low lying areas around Humboldt Bay.

Between 9.0 and 9.3 feet MLLW at the North Spit tide gauge is predicted. * WHERE...Northern Coastal Humboldt County. * WHEN...From noon today to 3 PM PDT this afternoon. High tide is at 12:34 PM at the Humboldt Bay North Spit tide gauge. Saltwater inundation will be possible 1 to 2 hours before and after high tide. * IMPACTS...Flooding of low lying areas around Humboldt Bay including parks and roads with only isolated closures expected.

Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 27 at 6:54AM PDT until October 29 at 1:00PM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

* WHAT...Minor to moderate coastal flooding expected due to very high tides. * WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands. * WHEN...Until 1 PM PDT Thursday. * IMPACTS...Minor to moderate flooding of sea water is likely over vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways. Moderate to significant beach erosion is likely. Isolated damage of structures due to sea water inundation is possible to the most vulnerable areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides will likely reach 7.5-8.0 feet (MLLW) each late morning, which is 1.0 to 1.5 feet above astronomical projections. The highest tides will be through Wednesday. There is a small chance for isolated Coastal Flood Warnings Wednesday through Thursday if larger surf develops. The Coastal Flood Advisory may also need to be extended beyond Thursday.

Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 27 at 5:41AM PDT until October 30 at 5:00PM PDT by NWS San Francisco CA

* WHAT...Up to 2.1 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Pacific Coast. * WHEN...Until 5 PM PDT Friday. * IMPACTS...High tides will result in flooding of low-lying infrastructure, isolated road closures, and coastal erosion. Rising tides will bring water and waves farther up the beach than normal, restricting escape from beaches and coastal areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 2.1 ft above normal (7.9 ft MLLW) at 12:15 PM Tuesday 10/27, 1.9 ft above normal (7.7 ft MLLW) at 12:56 PM Wednesday 10/28, 1.7 ft above normal (7.5 ft MLLW) at 01:43 PM Thursday 10/29, and 1.6 ft above normal (7.4 ft MLLW) at 02:39 PM Friday 10/30. These predictions include up to 1.2 ft of surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat. High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Bodega Bay.
