The first paragraph of Justin's blog below can basically be repeated for today.
Large ocean swells combined with Southerly winds will keep water levels above average in the Chesapeake Bay again today. It's been four days now, but a coastal flood advisory is still in effect for Wicomico, Somerset, and Dorchester counties until Friday at 6 AM. Tides are running about 1-2 feet above average, so minor tidal flooding is possible around times of high tide. Here are a few high tide times:
Kent Island 3:03 pm (Thursday) 3:47 am (Friday)
St. Michaels 2:29 pm 3:13 am
Cambridge 1:59 pm 2:43 am
Crisfield 10:31 am, 10:58 pm 11:19 am
Unfortunately we have more rain headed our way tonight. An area of low pressure will track out of the lower MS River Valley along a cold front and pass right through Delmarva. We're still nailing down the exact details, but it does look like the rain will begin tonight and linger through Friday morning before tapering to scattered showers Friday afternoon. There is the potential for some of the rain on Friday morning to be heavy with some embedded thunderstorms. Obviously since the ground is already saturated and the water levels are elevated on the Bay, this is a situation that needs to be watched. But like Justin wrote below, it does appear that sunshine along with a change to a NW wind direction will help to improve conditions on Saturday.
