    is unlikely, many roadways across the Downtown Charleston

    drainage across the peninsula will be slow to occur, so

    evening. Do not drive around police barricades. High tide in
    the Charleston Harbor will occur around 619 PM.
  - Some locations that will experience flooding include...
    Downtown Charleston, Medical University Of South Carolina,
