There will be an elevated risk of flooding in Aberdeen on Tuesday, November 17, 2020. NOAA’s
predicted high tide at Aberdeen on Tuesday is 11.85 feet (MLLW datum) at 2:06 PM. The National
Weather Service is forecasting that the actual tide may be 1.6 feet higher than NOAA’s prediction (13.45
feet MLLW) due to strong winds and low pressure. Rainfall is forecasted to begin early Tuesday morning
and continue through the day. The combination of a very high tide and rainfall can result in lowland area
flooding, especially within two to three hours before and after the high tide. All of the City’s stormwater
pump stations are operational and Public Works crews are ready to respond to flooding if it occurs.
