A coastal flood advisory covers Atlantic-side communities including West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
A coastal flood advisory is in effect along Florida’s Atlantic coast as king tides are expected to bring flooding to low-lying coastal areas.
The advisory includes West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, according to the Palm Beach Post. King tides are unusually high tides that can cause water to rise in vulnerable waterfront areas.
Residents and visitors in affected Atlantic-coast communities should be aware that flooding may occur around the highest tides during the advisory period.
