Florida Prepares for Potential Record Flooding from King Tides

The upcoming supermoon and strong winds are expected to exacerbate tidal flooding along Florida's coasts this week.

The National Weather Service has issued coastal flood advisories for parts of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina due to anticipated king tides.
King tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth align, increasing gravitational pull and raising ocean water levels.
Southeastern Florida faces a moderate risk of flooding from Wednesday through early next week, with the worst expected over the weekend.
Strong northeasterly winds may intensify flooding, pushing water further ashore and impacting streets, docks, and low-lying homes.
Local authorities are implementing measures like digital signage and temporary stormwater pumps to mitigate flood impacts.
