At tonight's high tide they are calling for minor flooding, as with tomorrow morning's high tide.
As every high tide passes with the NE Winds blowing while the storm is off the coast, the tides will be compounding.
Today's low tide was about a foot higher than yesterday, thus the next high tide will be that much higher. Today's tide was 5.01 feet with no flooding.
The tides will progressively get higher with the tides of concern being the Sunday evening high tide - projected moderate flooding of 7.5 to 8.5 feet.
Monday morning projections call for moderate to major flooding at 8.5 to 9.0 feet, continuing into Monday night with moderate flooding at 7.5 to 8.5 feet.
The rain has been reduced to 1 to 3 inches Sunday into Monday. This all subject to change and is based on the National Hurricane Center's projected route of the storm.
