Coastal Flood Warning issued September 26 at 4:23PM EDT until September 27 at 6:00PM EDT by NWS Upton NY
* WHAT...1 to 2 ft, locally 2 1/2 ft, of inundation above ground
level expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and
shoreline. The highest water levels are likely with the Sunday
midday high tides.
* WHERE...In Connecticut, Southern Fairfield and Southern New
Haven Counties. In New York, Southern Westchester County.
* WHEN...Until 6 PM EDT Sunday.
* COASTAL IMPACTS...Minor to moderate flooding is expected in the
most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and shoreline.
Expect 1 to 2 ft, locally 2 1/2 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.
* SHOREFRONT/BEACH IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 3 to 5 ft, along
with elevated water levels, will result in dune erosion with
damage to a few waterfront structures across southeast and east
facing shorelines. Splashover over seawalls and overwashes
where dune structures are compromised may locally exacerbate
flooding of roadways and vulnerable structures behind protective
dunes.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Additional rounds of minor coastal
flooding are possible for the Sunday night into early next week
high tides.
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
