The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a coastal flood advisory for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28.
Minor coastal flooding is expected is along the North Coast and Central Coast zones of Washington.
The flooding threat is due to tidal overflow and is expected around high tide. It may lead to flooding of parking lots, parks, and roads, with only isolated road closures expected.
Inundation of up to 6 inches above ground level is possible along shorelines and low-lying coastal areas.
A coastal flood advisory has also been issued for the Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca zone, west of Discovery Bay, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
Minor coastal flooding due to tidal overflow is also expected around high tide. Inundation just above ground level is possible along shorelines and low-lying coastal areas.
Communities across the Puget Sound are also preparing for high waters and potential flooding as king tides are forecast to raise waters in the early mornings of Monday, Jan. 23 through Wednesday, Jan. 25.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration does not expect the upcoming king tides Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to cause heavy flooding.
