Editing Coastal Flood Advisory (section)

=== What Is a Coastal Flood Advisory? ===
A coastal flood advisory is a weather notification issued when minor to moderate flooding is expected in coastal areas, but the flooding is not anticipated to be life-threatening or cause significant damage. These advisories are typically issued for short durations, ranging from a few hours to a day, and are issued when conditions suggest that tidal water levels will exceed normal levels but not reach catastrophic heights.

The purpose of a coastal flood advisory is to provide enough warning for people living in vulnerable coastal areas to take preventive measures. While these advisories are less severe than coastal flood warnings, they still indicate that residents should be cautious and aware of rising tides, strong waves, or storm surges that could affect homes, roads, and other infrastructure.
