The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of November 27, 2023 through December 4, 2023, is now available. This is the final weekly forecast period of the 2023 King Tide season. Minor coastal flooding is possible along South Florida’s east coast and in the Florida Keys through the middle of this week due to the Full Moon occurring today, Monday, November 27. No meteorological factors – such as wind strength and direction, or sea level pressure – are expected to further increase tidal levels during the forecast period.
