King tides are expected to cause coastal flooding along the Southeast coast, impacting areas from Florida to North Carolina.

Southeast coast braces for disruptive king tides
King tides are poised to impact the Southeast coast early this week, potentially causing disruptive coastal flooding from Florida to North Carolina. This phenomenon results from the alignment of several factors: a full moon, the moon's proximity to Earth, and sustained onshore winds. These elements combine to elevate water levels significantly, particularly in low-lying regions. Coastal communities should prepare for potential inundation of roads and vulnerable infrastructure.
