...A Coastal Flood Watch Has Been Issued For The Northern And Central Oregon Coast...And The Southern Washington Coast Late Tonight Through Friday Night...
A coastal Flood Watch has been issued for the northern and central Oregon coast... and southern Washington coast late tonight through Friday night. Dangerously large swells from the Pacific are expected to arrive on the coast tonight and Friday. Swells as large as 30 feet are possible along the central Oregon coast during high tide early Thursday morning.
If conditions develop as expected... some coastal flooding is possible along low roads and waysides as well as potential damage to low lying beachfront structures. These powerful waves can easily toss logs and dislodge large debris lying on the beaches.
Businesses and residents in and near the surf zone... and also near bays and estuaries should be alert for the possibility of flooding and very high water surging inland and inundating normally dry areas by taking precautions now.
A coastal Flood Watch means coastal flooding will occur if the weather develops as expected. People in the watch area should be ready to move to higher ground if flooding occurs or if a warning is issued by the National Weather Service.
This watch will be updated by 5 PM PST tonight.
