Hampton Roads will see “major” coastal flooding this weekend as a result of a storm off the Atlantic coast. The worst of it is expected Sunday evening.

Flood waters throughout the region will be elevated Friday due to high tides and strong winds and will increase Saturday from about one foot water to between 2 and 3 feet by Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service.

South Hampton Roads and northeast North Carolina will see a “slight” risk of heavy rain Saturday with the upper Peninsula under a “marginal” risk, but these risk assessments will reverse on Sunday, with the Peninsula and Eastern Shore getting the worst of it. However, Norfolk and Virginia Beach will remain in the highest risk zones throughout the weekend.

The chance of rain increases to 78% by the early morning
