Coastal Flood Warning issued February 21 at 2:44PM EST until February 23 at 2:00AM EST by NWS Upton NY
* WHAT...1 to 2 ft of inundation above ground level likely in
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.
* WHERE...In New Jersey, Hudson, Eastern Bergen, Eastern Essex
and Eastern Union Counties. In New York, New York (Manhattan),
Richmond (Staten Island), Kings (Brooklyn) and Southern Queens
Counties.
* WHEN...From 10 PM Sunday to 2 AM EST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Widespread minor to locally moderate coastal flooding
is expected in the most vulnerable locations near the waterfront
and shoreline. Expect around 1 to 2 ft of inundation above
ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. Some roads and low
lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns and
homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront will
experience shallow flooding.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This water level forecast will be highly
dependent on timing of windshift from northeast to north storm
force winds with respect to the time of high tide, and will be
refined over the next 24 hours. Ice cover in the bays and
harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to north to
northeast facing shoreline structures. Additional minor coastal
flooding possible with the Monday afternoon high tide.
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
