SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - On Tuesday, October 7, the WTOC First Alert Weather Team issued First Alert Weather Days through Friday due to high tides being tracked that could cause coastal flooding along some roadways closer to the coast.

One of the major roadways that has the highest chance of being influenced from the “King Tides” is Highway 80.

Minor flooding is predicted along this road starting around 9.5 feet. However, any tide above 10 feet can cause travel issues along Highway 80 between the Bull River Bridge and Tybee Island.

Throughout the rest of the work week, we anticipate similar high tide levels each morning.

Additionally, higher levels are expected on Thursday evening.

Why is this happening?

Our tides are primarily created by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun
