The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, is forecasting the return of King Tides today and through the weekend to low-lying shoreline areas of Southern Marin County.

High tides may be potent enough to impact coastal and bayside areas. If storms occur over the weekend, tidal surges could bring with them the risk of increased flooding and hazardous conditions.

Residents and visitors are warned that clear skies and dry conditions will not eliminate the risks associated with King Tides.

NOAA is also warning against wading at beaches and waterfront areas, as high tides could rise quickly and may be stronger than they appear.

The King Tides may also conceal damage to roadways. Debris could pose serious risks to pedestrians and vehicles traveling in the area.
