A strong NE Flow event peaked across the local area with sustained winds along the coast in the 25-35 mph range and observed gusts of 40-50 mph with the highest values along the NE FL coast. A wind advisory was issued. The combination of the strong onshore flow and seasonally high King Tides produced widespread moderate coastal flooding around high tides.
