COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST THIS
EVENING...
* WHAT...Up to 2 feet of inundation above ground level expected
in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.
* WHERE...Northeast Suffolk County.
* WHEN...Until 6 PM EST this evening.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of vulnerable areas
near the waterfront and shoreline this morning, with 1 1/2 to 2 feet
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 would likely become flooded. Flooding will also
extend inland from the waterfront along tidal rivers and bays.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 3 to 6 feet are possible
during the morning high tide. This would result in beach
erosion and minor damage to shoreline structures, as well as
wave splashover onto shoreline roads and properties.
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
