... Coastal Flood Watch remains in effect through Tuesday
morning...

Interests along the coast and on the tidal lakes outside the
hurricane levee protection systems should closely monitor the
situation. Also interests along lower reaches of rivers and
streams that drain into the tidal lakes should be mindful of
rising water levels due to tidal effects.

Residents and interests along the coast are urged to make preparations
for moderate to significant inundation that may last for 2 to 3 days
as tides rise as high as 3 to 4 feet and possibly 5 feet above normal
at times through Tuesday morning... especially along east facing
shores in St Bernard and Plaquemines Parish... and along Hancock
County. Currently... tides are running about 1 foot above normal.
As winds increase over the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday... tides are
expected to continue to increase by Sunday night.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for flooding
are expected to develop. Preparedness actions should include
removal of machinery... vehicles and other movable property out of
areas prone to coastal flooding as soon as possible. Access roads
into tidal marshes... marinas and area camps are likely to become
inundated and impassible for lengthy periods during the day Sunday
and continuing through Tuesday. Some minor inundation may be
realized as early as today.

Stay tuned to local TV... radio... NOAA all-hazards radio or the
internet for the latest on this potential coastal flooding
episode. A coastal Flood Warning may be issued for portions of
the coast at any time through Tuesday morning.
