An area of low pressure will combine with high astronomical tides on Monday and Tuesday to bring higher-than-normal water levels at high tide for areas of southern Newfoundland. Some minor coastal flooding is likely in low-lying areas along the shoreline.

A Special Weather Statement for the higher-than-normal water levels was issued Sunday afternoon by the Environment and Climate Change Canada Weather Office in Gander (ECCC NL) for the following locations:

• The Avalon Peninsula Southwest
• The Burin Peninsula
• Burgeo – Ramea
• Channel-Port aux Basques

According to ECCC NL, the high water levels will coincide with high tide and will occur between 8 AM and 12 PM.

Subsequent updates will follow if needed.
