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.
