LOWCOUNTRY, S.C. (WCIV) — A Coastal Flood Warning is in effect until 11 a.m. for Charleston and coastal Colleton counties.
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for coastal Georgetown County until 10 a.m. and Beaufort and tidal Berkeley counties until 11 a.m.
High tide is around 8:18 a.m. Monday with major coastal flooding currently in the forecast. Roads in typical flood prone areas will likely become impassable and closed until water levels recede.
Strong onshore winds combined with the highest astronomical tides of the year have lead to some impactful high tide flooding over the last few days, with more coastal flooding likely through the middle of the week around the morning high tides.
If you come across a flooded roadway, turn around, don’t drown. Never drive around barricades and through flooded roads.
You can monitor road closures in and around downtown Charleston here. The high tide forecast in Charleston can also be monitored here.
