Please don’t drive through #flood water. 30cms is enough to float your car.https://t.co/P6B5248RRV pic.twitter.com/pRi6xObwQx
"Tides are expected to be higher than usual, due to the forecast weather conditions," read the flood alert.
"We expect to see high water levels in Lake Lothing in Lowestoft, as well as high sea levels along the Suffolk Coast, impacting on beach access points."
Tomorrow is the last high tide and conditions are expected to improve after that.
Flooding along the River Deben is also possible, as tide levels will be high around the boat yard in Felixstowe Ferry at the end of Ferry Road, and along riverside areas in Woodbridge and Waldringfield, as well as in surrounding marshland.
The Suffolk coastline from Southwold to Aldeburgh could also experience some flooding due to the high tides.
