The flooding will primarily impact lots, parks, and vulnerable roadways, with isolated road closures possible.\n\nOfficials urge drivers to avoid parking in flood-prone locations and never attempt to drive through standing water, which may be deeper than it appears. The most vulnerable roadways are expected to flood first.\n\nWhile this is considered minor flooding, residents should stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel in affected low-lying coastal areas during the advisory period. The advisory expires at 2 AM Tuesday morning.\n\nFor real-time water level information, visit the National Water Prediction Service online.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Coastal
