If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
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 (3.7 to 12.9 feet Mean Lower Low Water).
* WHERE...Portions of eastern, northeastern and southeastern
Massachusetts and northern and southern Rhode Island.
* WHEN...From Sunday morning through late Monday night.
* IMPACTS...Roads remain passable. Shallow pockets of flooding
less than one foot deep affect more vulnerable coastal roads
along the North Shore from Salem and Gloucester to
Newburyport. Rough surf will likely cause some splashover onto
coastal roads around the time of high tide. Roads remain
passable. Low lying areas and roads near Nantucket Harbor,
including Easy Street, may experience pockets of shallow
flooding less than one foot deep. Minor coastal flooding
occurs along the most vulnerable shoreline locales in Newport,
Portsmouth and Middletown. This includes flooding at parking
lots near beaches in Newport, and a portion of Hazard Road.
Minor coastal flooding also occurs on several streets in the
Common Fence Point area.
