Coastal Areas in Georgia and South Carolina Brace for Severe Weather and Flooding

Gale force winds and dangerous seas are expected to cause flooding and possible beach erosion along the northern Georgia and southern South Carolina coasts starting Wednesday. Strong high pressure to the north will lead to strengthening northeast winds, with a coastal storm possible over the weekend. Flooding is most likely during morning high tides through Thursday and may continue into the weekend. Coastal flood advisories will likely be issued, and waves as high as 8 feet are expected within 20 nautical miles of shore.
