(BIVN) – Peak monthly high tides will bring minor flooding along the shoreline and in low-lying coastal areas of Hawaiʻi island, starting tonight. 

In a Coastal Flood Statement issued Thursday by the National Weather Service in Honolulu, forecasters said coastal flooding will be possible “around the daily peak tide which will occur during the early morning hours,” from now through Sunday morning. 

“Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat ramps, and other coastal infrastructure,” could experience “flooding of beaches that are normally dry, minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation,” the NWS statement said. 

The coastal hazard message applies to the all shores in the State of Hawaiʻi.

From the National Weather Service:

Avoid driving through flooded roadways. If you are forced to drive through salt water, be sure to rinse your vehicle with fresh water. Move electronics, vehicles or other valuables to higher ground. Monitor vessels to ensure mooring lines don’t get too tight and watch out for overwash around boat ramps. Secure canoes or other watercraft stowed on beaches.
