Coastal Flood Warning issued February 22 at 3:22PM 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 this evening 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 has been leaned
towards a high end scenario, providing a margin of safety. It is
highly dependent on timing of windshift from northeast to north
storm force winds with respect to the time of high tide. If
shift to northerly winds occurs earlier than time of high tide,
water levels will fall to the low end or even below the
forecast range. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could
exacerbate flooding and cause damage to north to northeast
facing shoreline structures.
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
