King tides expected this weekend; low-lying waterfront paths may close

The highest tides of the year arrive this weekend, and forecasters say a storm system could push water higher than usual along exposed shorelines.

City crews may close sections of the waterfront walkway on Saturday and Sunday mornings, when the tide peaks.

Residents in low-lying areas are encouraged to move vehicles and outdoor furniture away from the seawall.

Tide tables suggest peaks just after 8 a.m. both days.
