Peak fall King Tides and persistent northeasterly winds are expected to bring major coastal flooding to parts of the Southeast during morning high tides over the next 48 hours. FOX Forecast Center says water has risen more than 2 feet above normally dry ground for at least five consecutive days, with Charleston Harbor potentially reaching or exceeding 2 feet. Coastal Flood Warnings cover parts of South Florida, Georgia and the South Carolina Lowcountry, while South Florida could also see more than 2 inches of rain this week. Water levels should gradually ease after midweek.

00:00King tides could flood streets across the southeast coast, even without a storm.
00:04The Fox Forecast Center expects major coastal flooding during morning high tides over the next two days.
00:11Coastal flood warnings cover parts of South Florida, Georgia, and the South Carolina low country.
00:17King tides are the highest natural high tides of the year, but persistent winds are also pushing seawater toward shore.
00:23That combination could leave flooded roads impassable, disrupting your travel near the coast.
00:28In Charleston, flooding could reach beyond the waterfront into downtown streets.
00:33Farther south, saltwater could back up through storm drains onto Miami Beach streets.
00:37South Florida also faces heavy tropical rain, which could make flooding worse.
00:42That's because high ocean water can stop rainwater from draining away.
00:46Water levels should gradually ease after midweek, as the peak tide cycle fades.
00:51Disclosure. This video contains stock footage and content created or enhanced, using AI-assisted tools.
