Coastal Flood Watch
Statement as of 4:55 am CST on November 7, 2009


... Coastal Flood Watch remains in effect through Sunday evening...

.Tide levels are near one foot above predicted astronomical
tides... resulting in tide levels near 3 feet at the times of high
tide. Easterly winds are expected to increase across the central
and northern Gulf today and into Sunday... resulting in tide levels
running about one and one half feet above the predicted
astronomical tides. The actual tide levels would reach between 3.5
and 4 feet during the high tide cycles Saturday and Sunday
evenings... resulting in the potential for minor coastal flooding
at these times.

This could cause portions of Highway 87 in Jefferson County
between Sabine Pass and Port Arthur to have some water across
it... as well as some minor flooding of low spots along Highway
82 between Johnson Bayou and Holly Beach in Cameron Parish.

Finally... the recent heavy rainfall across the area has resulted
in river flooding along the Sabine and Calcasieu rivers. Above
normal tides along the coast could sustain flooding along the
lower stretches of these rivers... mainly south of the Interstate
10 corridor.

Stay tuned to local TV... radio... NOAA all-hazards radio or the
internet for the latest on this potential coastal flooding event.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for minor
flooding are expected to develop. Coastal residents should be
alert for later statements or warnings.
