tides... resulting in tide levels between 2.5 and 3 feet at the
times of high tide. Easterly winds are expected to increase
across the central and northern Gulf... resulting in tide levels
running about one to one half feet above the predicted
astronomical tides. The actual tide levels would reach between
3 and 3.5 feet during the high tide cycles tonight... resulting in
the potential for minor coastal flooding at these times.
