A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for the Upper Keys and a Coastal Flood Statement is in effect for the Middle and Lower Keys. Saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is expected. Some storm drains will overflow, and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters should expect less clearance under fixed bridges. Motorists should remember that persistent puddles around the times of high tide are almost certain to contain a mix of saltwater.
