The close full moon over the next several days will result in a high morning tide of up to some 9 feet, likely causing flooding in low-lying areas. There's also a chance of rain over the next several days which could, obviously, worsen flooding.

So, take precautions and use caution when driving. Morning high tide's are at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, 7:20 a.m. Wednesday, and 8:15 a.m. Thursday.

Hop over to the National Weather Service for the full forecast, and get the tide times at TidesOnline.com.
