Coastal flood advisory from Harford to St. Mary's

Annapolis tides 

Winds out of the east and southeast are driving water up the Chesapeake Bay and holding it there. And that's the recipe for minor coastal flooding. The National Weather Service has posted a coastal flood advisory all along the Western Shore from Harford to St. Mary's County, effective from 10 this morning until 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Residents along the shore can expect tides to run 1 to 1.5 feet above forecast levels, and as much as 2 feet at high tide. Here are the upcoming high tide times for several locations:

ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY...
HAVRE DE GRACE...4:46 AM AND 4:21 PM...
FORT MCHENRY BALTIMORE...1:08 PM AND 2:25 AM...
ANNAPOLIS U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY...11:38 AM AND 12:55 AM...
SOLOMONS ISLAND...8:30 AM AND 9:47 PM...
POINT LOOKOUT...7:40 AM AND 8:57 PM...
ALEXANDRIA...3:04 PM AND 3:37 AM...

NOW ALONG THE POTOMAC RIVER...
INDIAN HEAD...2:32 PM AND 3:05 AM...
GOOSE BAY...10:38 AM AND 11:11 PM...
