Costal Flood Advisory in Effect for Severna Park Area

Updated (2:25 p.m.)—A mid-west storm system responsible for snow in North Dakota and tornados in Nebraska, brings the possibility of costal flooding to the Severna Park area on Monday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

The NWS has canceled the tornado watch for Anne Arundel County.

A costal flood advisory has also been issued for Severna Park and much of the county until 4 p.m. Monday. A tidal anomaly of 1 to 1.5 feet above predictions is expected Monday morning, possibly increasing to 1.5 to 2 feet Monday afternoon and evening, NWS predicts. 

Minor flooding is expected in the morning, with the possibility of moderate flooding in the evening, according to predictions. 

A flood advisory indicates that winds and tides will create conditions causing flooding in low-lying areas along the shore. Residents should take precautions, protect personal property and be on alert for additional warnings throughout the day, according to the NWS.

A costal flood watch has also been issued for the area from 4 p.m. Monday to early Tuesday morning. A flood watch means that conditions are favorable to flooding in low-lying areas.
