possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal

waterways.

Pablo Bay.

* WHEN...Until 4 PM PST Friday.

* IMPACTS...High tides will result in flooding of low-lying

infrastructure, isolated road closures, and coastal erosion.

Rising tides will bring water and waves farther up the beach

than normal, restricting escape from beaches and coastal

areas.

Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.

What to do: If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
