NOTTINGHAM, MD – The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for portions of Baltimore.

The advisory will remain in effect until 8 a.m. on Sunday.

Tides in the affected areas may be one and a half to two feet above normal.

Minor flooding is expected to occur late Saturday afternoon, and again around high tide overnight into early Sunday morning.

Flooding is expected at the end of Thames Street in Baltimore. Water also is expected to cover the promenade at the dragon boat dock in the Inner Harbor.

Minor flooding is also expected in the Bowleys Quarters area, and minor shoreline inundation up to one foot above ground is possible elsewhere.

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
