VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A coastal flooding event unseen for a decade could inundate parts of Hampton Roads on Monday — three days after the remnants of Hurricane Ian swept through the region.
A low-pressure system spawned in the aftermath of Ian is forecast to bring rain and more high winds that could push tides higher than were experienced Friday.
After Sunday night's high tide, which is projected to be about 5 feet above normal, Monday’s is projected to be from 6.9 to 7.3 feet, according to the National Weather Service in Wakefield. That would put some coastal areas under as much as 3 feet of water.
