Afternoon update (Coastal Storm)
We had a wind gust to 61mph at the Virginia Beach Ocean front a little while ago. Winds have been gusty as expected. Since the winds have come up, the tide is running about 3 ft above normal. Upon talking with Jon Cash we think the next high tide will be about 7-10 inches above this morning’s high tide. This is the update from a couple of inches that we forecast this morning. This will create some problems as it is expected around the evening commute. Be careful driving home especially on the side streets!
