around 1.5 feet above normal. Minor flooding at Ocean City Inlet
begins at 4.0 feet MLLW. The anomalies are expected to increase to
2.0 to 2.5 feet above normal by late Monday night and Tuesday.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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