Coastal flooding is set to hit low-lying spots in the D.C. area again Saturday after a storm system pushed in high water and bands of heavy rain.
Tides could rise 2 to 3 feet above normal, and it’s likely that water will get high in flood-prone areas.
High tide is when coastal flooding is most likely to hit along the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay, the National Weather Service says.
