FIRST ALERT: A "Coastal Flood Advisory" will go into effect for Charleston and coastal Colleton Counties at 7 AM Tuesday! Tidal departures during high tide in the Charleston Harbor (9:06 AM) could be conducive for moderate tidal flooding in flood-prone and low-lying areas. #SCWX

‼️🚧Officers have closed the eastbound lane of Long Point Road (going toward Hwy 17) at the Needlerush traffic circle. High tide is causing minor flooding.

Please be aware that we expect more road flooding tomorrow morning around high tide. High winds will make the situation a little worse.
Plan ahead and avoid driving through salt water. Which creates a damaging wake. 🌊

We experienced King Tide flooding this morning which has receded mostly. Tomorrow & Tuesday will likely be the same so plan accordingly if you need to travel on or off the island.

FIRST ALERT: Windier conditions will contribute to a heightened risk of tidal flooding this weekend! High tides beginning Saturday morning could climb into "moderate" flood stage at the Charleston Harbor; major flooding could ensue starting Sunday. #SCWX

FIRST ALERT: Significant tidal flooding will be possible through at least next Wednesday due to the combination of King Tides and a strengthening northeasterly wind!

Daytime temperatures will be comparable to what we have seen all week (upper 60s/lower 70s).
The only difference will be a gustier wind.

Multiple rounds of moderate to major coastal flooding are likely over the next week for the southeast GA/SC coast. For context, check out the historical average flood duration by flood category for Charleston and Fort Pulaski. #scwx #gawx #chswx #savwx

⚠️The risk for a significant, long-duration coastal flood event for coastal areas of the South Carolina Lowcountry and Southeast Georgia is increasing. Moderate to major coastal flooding is likely this weekend into early next week. Take time to prepare! #gawx #scwx #chswx #savwx

El Niño is underway and is strengthening. There is a greater than 90% chance of a very strong event during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2026-27.
Strong El Niño winters favor wetter and cooler than normal conditions along the Southeast coast. weather.gov/chs

FRIDAY: A fantastic forecast returns to the Lowcountry, mainly owing to a strong area of high pressure nearby! Morning temperatures will likely begin in the 40s and 50s for most, followed by afternoon highs in the lower 70s. Enjoy the final day of the work and school week! #SCWX
