closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
* WHAT...One to two feet of inundation above ground level
possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways.
* WHERE...Atlantic, Coastal Atlantic and Southeastern Burlington.
* WHEN...From this evening through late tonight.
* IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in
coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal
waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to
vulnerable structures may begin to occur.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Increasing onshore flow during the day on
Friday combined with the higher astronomical tides will
increase the potential for moderate coastal flooding with the
Friday night high tide. The Friday night high tide is forecast
to have the highest water levels and greatest impacts with
this stretch of coastal flooding, and high tide water levels
will lower over the weekend.
