STORM SURGE:
  • A storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 4 to 6 feet above ground level along the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in areas of onshore winds.
  • Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.
  • The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline.
  • The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide…
Anclote River, FL to Englewood, FL…10-15 ft
Tampa Bay…10-15 ft Englewood, FL to Bonita Beach, FL…6-10 ft
Charlotte Harbor…6-10 ft Yankeetown, FL to Anclote River, FL…5-10 ft
Bonita Beach, FL to Chokoloskee, FL…4-7 ft
Suwannee River, FL to Yankeetown, FL…3-5 ft
Chokoloskee, FL to Flamingo, FL…3-5 ft
Flagler/Volusia County Line, FL to Altamaha Sound, GA…3-5 ft
Sebastian Inlet, FL to Flagler/Volusia County Line, FL…2-4 ft
Altamaha Sound, GA to Edisto Beach, SC…2-4 ft Dry Tortugas…2-4 ft
St. Johns River…2-4 ft
  • The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the south of the landfall location, where the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves.
  • Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.
  • For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.
