Doubtful for your area as the wind is blowing north, north west which puts north facing coasts at highest risk with high tide.
Hmmm saying that, are you on the east facing coast or more towards Southend?

My wife in Richmond VA is experiencing the same, 70* today, snow expected sunday.
Here in Oregon is really cold for the PNW, temps down to 10*F this morning, likely some date records being set.
Caporegime
Isn't there a storm surge forecast later for some?
We've had it pretty rough on the west coast today. We've had wind, rain, hail, even snow! 
My cousin had a pretty bad experience on the way to work. He was getting a lift to his work, which goes along a coastal road, when they came across a downed tree blocking the whole road. They pulled over to the side of the road, but they spotted another car coming up behind them. Worried that the person driving might not see the tree in the dark my cousin got out and tried to flag the person down. But as he was wearing dark clothing, the driver didn't see him and ended up slamming right into the tree and the car got flipped up into the air almost vertically (or at least thats what my cousin said, might be overstating it a bit, dunno)

My folks live in the marsh villages just north of the Humber and they are hoping that the drains don't flood. Some are looking quite high.

Spurn Point likely to get cut off again.

I live about a minutes walk from the sea front, all the market place and front is shut down. The surge is suppose to be coming right about now.
There was a massive storm here in the North West. Large parts of New Brighton and Seacombe are flooded including a multi million pound retail park that hasn't been open long. We are due another freakishly high tide tonight at midnight. Some pics here:

About 5 miles from me is under 3 foot of water.
Just seen on the news, didn't realise how much was going on
Guess will see what happens on the east Coast tonight, although looked at the video the guy was stood in the street next to the coast, the tide was out and it was already pushing up over the walls into the street, the tide has yet to come in

Crazy, mad as a box of frogs...!GrimsbyLAD said:
I live less than 10 minute walk from the Docks, near Maccies...
Just seen this on the Grimsby Telegraph site.
7.06pm: Relieved residents in the Suggitt’s Lane area are returning to their homes just after high tide. It appears the tidal surge will not go as far inland as feared.
Hopefully the Grimsby Town football ground wont get flooded now it's the next street lol, can't be doing with the FA Cup game being postponed on Saturday lol.
HULL is getting flooded near Victoria Dock, listening on Radio Humberside now...!

Apparently water is pouring over the walls of Victoria Dock in East Hull. The Humber is ridiculously high right now.

Thankfully relatively un eventful in my part of the Midlands as it always is, my heart goes out to people in exposed/coastal areas though.

Lock Gates at Grimsby Docks, practically 5-10 minute walk away from my House.
