Wind, Coastal Flooding Advisories Issued In Marin County

MARIN COUNTY, CA — There is a wind advisory and a coastal flood advisory active at the same time this week in Marin County, officials said.

The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for 10 p.m. Tuesday until 4 p.m. Wednesday.

NWS reported there are winds of 25 to 35 MPH winds with gust up to 45 MPH expected over that timeframe. There could also be 55 MPH winds along North Bay coastal area and ridgetops, NWS said.

"Unsecured objects may blow around, tree limbs could fall and power outages are possible," according to NWS.

From 8 a.m. Tuesday through 2 p.m. on Saturday there will be up to 1.2 feet of coastal flooding expected in low-lying shoreline and tidal waterway areas, NWS reported.

NWS said to expect flooding of lots, parks and roads and that isolated road closures may occur.

The Mill Valley Police Department recommends to:

• Secure or bring inside any loose outdoor items (e.g., patio furniture, trash bins, garden decor).
• Avoid driving in flooded or low-lying areas near the bayshore — do not drive through standing water of unknown depth.
• Allow extra time for travel, and plan alternate routes if road closures might occur.
• Monitor local news, alerts, and social media for updates — conditions may change quickly
