Watch Out For High Tide Thursday
Outlook for Wednesday is sunny, but Wednesday night could bring a chance of rain and snow before 1 a.m. Thursday, then more rain. We could see some accumulation of snow in North Madison later this week.
The National Weather Service says strong easterly winds, in combination with high astronomical tides, may cause minor to locally moderate coastal flooding with the high tide on Thursday.
High tide in Madison on Thursday will be 12:32 a.m. and 12:46 p.m.
