Coastal Flood Statement issued March 2 at 2:10PM ChST until March 3 at 3:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU

* WHAT…Isolated minor coastal flooding expected.

* WHERE…North and east facing shores of Majuro.

* WHEN…Through Monday afternoon.

* IMPACTS…Some water and debris on low lying roads and property
near the shore.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Tides will be elevated through Monday due to
the current new moon phase. Also, a couple pulses of long-period
northerly swell will move through the area through Monday, mixing
with the primary northeast to east swell affecting the region.
Together, the elevated tides and swell will increase water levels
along north and east facing shores that face the open ocean,
increasing the potential of some minor splash-up and inundation,
especially during high tide.
