Coastal Flooding Arrives Monday Afternoon
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 2 p.m. Monday through 6 a.m. Tuesday for Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Suffolk. The National Weather Service expects shallow flooding in vulnerable areas near shorelines and tidal waterways, with water possibly reaching about a foot above ground in the most exposed spots.
Low-lying roads, waterfront parking lots, parks and lawns could see nuisance flooding during the advisory period. Drivers should allow extra time, avoid barricades and never drive through water of unknown depth.
Sunny, Windy Conditions Continue Through Wednesday
