Local Weather:
A strong northeasterly breeze will keep high seas and the risk of rip currents in place. This breeze should help drive in isolated showers and the forecast is calling for a slight chance the entire week. However, the main concern will be coastal flooding around most vulnerable areas during high tides. A coastal flood advisory will remain in effect until Wednesday morning. The next high tides today will happen between 9 and 11 pm.
