Coastal Flood Warning issued September 27 at 5:36AM EDT until September 27 at 6:00PM EDT by NWS Upton NY
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, 2 to 2 1/2 feet of
inundation above ground level in vulnerable areas near the
waterfront and shoreline. For the High Surf Advisory, large
breaking waves of 6 to 8 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip
Current Risk, dangerous rip currents.
* WHERE...Kings (Brooklyn) and Southern Queens Counties.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 6 PM EDT this
evening. For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 PM EDT this
evening. For the High Rip Current Risk, through this evening.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding of
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. The highest
water levels will be along Jamaica Bay, particularly along the
north facing shoreline of the Rockaways. This will result in
numerous road closures and cause widespread flooding of low
lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns, and homes
and 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.
* BEACHFRONT IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 6 to 8 feet along with
elevated water levels will result in widespread dune erosion and
beach flooding. Localized overwashes are possible where dune
structures are compromised, resulting in some flooding of
roadways and vulnerable structures behind protective dunes.
Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach
erosion. Life threatening rip currents are likely for all people
entering the surf zone.
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out of the surf.
