Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
* WHAT...1 1/2 to 2 1/2 feet of inundation above ground level
expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline
for the Sunday afternoon, Sunday Night and Monday afternoon
high tide cycles.
* WHERE...Bronx, Northwest Suffolk, Northern Queens and Northern
Nassau Counties.
* WHEN...From 2 PM Sunday to 8 PM EDT Monday, around the times of
high tide.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Moderate coastal flooding expected,
with 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level in
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. This will
result in several road closures and flooding of numerous low
lying properties 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...Breaking waves of 3 to 6 ft along the
immediate shoreline will result in significant beach erosion
and splashover seawalls and bulkheads, exacerbating flooding
of shoreline roads and properties. Minor damage is possible to
waterfront structures.
