COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO 10 AM EST WEDNESDAY... * WHAT...Less than 1 ft of inundation with tonight`s high tide. 2 to 2 1/2 feet of inundation above ground level expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline with the Wednesday morning high tide. * WHERE...Southern Queens County. * WHEN...From 4 AM to 10 AM EST Wednesday. * COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline, particularly Wednesday morning. Expect 2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. This will result in numerous road closures and cause widespread flooding of low lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront. Vehicles parked in vulnerable areas near the waterfront will likely become flooded. Flooding will also extend inland from the waterfront along tidal rivers and bays. * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Large breaking waves of 10 to 15 ft along the oceanfront will result in scattered dune erosion and localized overwashes. Localized flooding of roadways and vulnerable structures behind protective dunes is possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak surge of 4 to 5 ft will likely be between times of high tide this evening and Wednesday morning. The timing of an offshore windshift before the time of high tide Wednesday morning is expected to keep the threat for major flooding (3 ft of inundation above ground) low and localized. Surge guidance trends will be monitor and forecast refined over the next 24 hours. In addition, heavy rain during this evening high tide will likely exacerbate urban and poor drainage flood issues for coastal and shoreline roads. Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
