A flood of data on tide cycles in Hampton Roads worries meteorologists. (Virginian-Pilot, 12/3/2016)
Heck, even on a windless, sunny day, you can count on the Sewells Point gauge reaching roughly 3 feet above MLLW [mean lower low water] during one of those king tides you sometimes hear people talking about. That’s why folks in low-lying neighborhoods watch the astronomical charts. When a king tide’s approaching, they’re thinking about getting that car parked out front to higher ground, no matter how gentle the weather appears.
Add a little rain or wind to the forecast, and they know the tide probably will go even higher.
