* WHAT...One to one and a half feet, locally 2 feet, of inundation
above ground level expected in vulnerable areas near the
waterfront and shoreline.
* WHERE...Southwest Suffolk and Southern Nassau Counties.
* WHEN...Until 2 PM EDT Monday.
* IMPACTS...Widespread minor to locally moderate flooding is
expected in the most vulnerable locations near the waterfront
and shoreline. Expect one to one and a half feet, locally 2
feet, of inundation above ground level. Some roads and low lying
property including parking lots, parks, lawns and
homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront will
experience shallow flooding. Scattered areas of dune erosion are
possible through early Monday along the ocean beaches.
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with
you and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax
and float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in
a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face
the shore and yell or wave for help.
