About 2 feet of tidal flooding is expected in low-lying areas along the Calvert County shoreline. The flood period runs from noon Saturday through 5 a.m. Monday, with the highest water near high tide.
What’s Happening: Tides are forecast to rise 2 to 2.5 feet above normal. High tides are expected at 2:36 p.m. and 2:52 a.m. at Solomons Island and at 4:34 p.m. and 4:36 a.m. at Chesapeake Beach.
What’s Important: Water could reach backyards near 9th Street in North Beach and approach the street when the tide reaches 3 feet. At 3.5 feet, flooding is expected in yards near Charles Street and Williams Street in Solomons, while nearby streets and parking lots could have more than 6 inches of water.
How This Affects Real People: Drivers may encounter closed roads and should plan for delays. They should not go around barricades or drive into water of unknown depth. Residents in flood-prone areas should take steps to protect their property.
What’s Still Unclear: The listed expiration time is 4:45 p.m. Saturday, but the alert says flooding could continue until 5 a.m. Monday.
