The Gulf Coast may experience flooding this week as persistent moderate to strong onshore winds impact coastal waters, according to weather officials.
The highest water levels are forecast during high tide on Thursday, with peak times from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Minor flooding of low-lying roads, parking lots, and properties around high tide is possible.
Water covering some of the lowest-lying roads could make them impassable to vehicles. Authorities warn residents to avoid driving or walking through flooded areas. For safety reasons, they advise turning around if encountering flooded roads.
Mississippi residents are urged to stay informed and exercise caution as conditions develop.
