Specifically, the advisory highlights the shoreline in Anne Arundel County as the area of concern. The advisory emphasizes that flooding may occur, especially around the time of high tide, until Monday morning. The impacts of the flooding could include water surrounding the Alex Haley Memorial, with flooding potentially affecting the parking area near Dock Street in Annapolis.

Climate change has been linked to the increased frequency and intensity of such events, making it crucial for communities to be prepared and resilient in the face of these risks.
As climate change continues to impact weather patterns globally, it is essential for individuals, communities, and governments to prioritize climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. By taking proactive measures to address the root causes of climate change and prepare for its effects, we can work towards a more sustainable and secure future for all.
