Coastal Flood Warning issued September 26 at 2:00AM EDT until September 27 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Boston/Norton MA
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, up to one foot of
inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near
shorelines and tidal waterways (4.0 to 12.6 feet Mean Lower
Low Water). For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves
of 6 to 13 feet in the surf zone.
* WHERE...Eastern Essex MA, Suffolk MA, Eastern Norfolk MA,
Eastern Plymouth MA, Barnstable MA, Dukes MA and Nantucket MA
Counties.
* WHEN...Until 8 PM EDT Sunday.
* IMPACTS...Strong northeast winds with large waves will result in
minor coastal flooding with pockets of moderate coastal flooding
over multiple high tide cycles from late today through the
weekend. The water also may struggle to vacate the area after
the high tides given persistent strong northeast winds. The
greatest risk for coastal flooding appears to be setting up
south of Boston and onto the Cape and Islands. In addition...the
long duration of northeast winds coupled with large waves over
multiple high tide cycles will result in areas of severe beach
erosion for a prolonged period.
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
