Coastal Flood Watch issued October 7 at 5:39AM EDT until October 10 at 6:00PM EDT by NWS Key West FL Additional Details Here.

* WHAT...Minor saltwater flooding will continue across the Florida
Keys today through Tuesday night, especially around the times of
high tide. Major saltwater flooding of 1 to 3 feet above ground
level on the Bay and Gulf side will be possible Wednesday
morning through Thursday afternoon, with strong south to
southwest winds impacting the Keys as Hurricane Milton moves
across the eastern Gulf of Mexico into the west coast of the
Florida peninsula.

* WHERE...Florida Keys.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Statement, through late Tuesday
night. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Wednesday morning
through Thursday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Through Tuesday night, minor saltwater flooding of low
elevation streets and lots is likely, with little relief during
low tide. Some storm drains will overflow, and some seawalls and
docks will be overtopped. Boaters can expect less clearance
under fixed bridges. Motorists should remember that persistent
puddles around the times of high tide are almost certain to
contain a mix of saltwater. For Wednesday morning through
Thursday afternoon, storm surge flooding may cause numerous
roads to be closed. Low lying property including homes,
businesses, and some critical infrastructure may be inundated.
Some shoreline erosion may occur.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Atlantic shores will be susceptible to
overwash Wednesday into Wednesday night. However, the main
coastal flooding threat will occur on the Bay and Gulf side.
