A coastal Flood Watch remains in effect until midnight CST
tonight.

Easterly winds will increase across the central and northern Gulf
today... resulting in tide levels running about one to one half
feet above the predicted astronomical tides. The actual tide
levels would reach between 3.5 to possibly 4 feet during the high
tide cycle later this evening... with the potential for some minor
coastal flooding.

This could cause portions of Highway 87 in Jefferson County
between Sabine Pass and Port Arthur to have some water across
it... as well as some minor flooding of low spots along Highway
82 between Johnson Bayou and Holly Beach in Cameron Parish.

In addition... the recent heavy rainfall across the area has
resulted in river flooding along the Sabine and Calcasieu rivers.
Above normal tides along the coast could sustain flooding along
the lower stretches of these rivers... mainly south of the
Interstate 10 corridor.

Stay tuned to local TV... radio... NOAA all-hazards radio or the
internet for the latest on this potential coastal flooding event.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for
minor flooding to develop. Coastal residents should be alert for
later statements or warnings.
