High Surf Warning in Washington
During the day, a High Surf Warning will be in effect for the coast due to large dangerous waves along the beaches. There is also a Coastal Flood Advisory for the north interior for minor flooding due to high tides and low pressure. Watch local flooding in some parking lots and low-lying areas near the water.
