High tides continue flooding Marin County, filling roads and neighborhoods

Thursday, high tides brought floodwaters onto roads, into parking lots, and through neighborhoods throughout Marin County. Elevated water levels were spotted around the county during and after high tide, just after midday Thursday afternoon. These elevated water levels came on what was otherwise a clear day in Marin County. Video footage from the news chopper from that time showed flooding in Sausalito, Belvedere, Mill Valley, Corte Madera, and more. Forecasters say the high tides are compounded by especially warm waters off the Pacific, with thermal expansion of the water leading water levels to rise. Already, officials warned residents of coastal areas to be on alert for flooding this week. Now, the National Weather Service has extended its Coastal Flood Advisory through Sunday at 6 p.m. for low-lying, bayshore locations along the San Pablo Bay, San Francisco Bay, and Monterey Bay.
