...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...1 to 2 ft of inundation above ground level expected in
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline with this
evening high tide cycle. 2 to 2 1/2 feet of inundation above
ground level expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront
and shoreline with the Wednesday morning high tide cycle with
locally 3 ft possible of inundation possible.

* WHERE...Northeast Suffolk, Southwest Suffolk, Southeast
Suffolk and Southern Nassau Counties.

* WHEN...From 4 PM this afternoon to 1 PM EST Wednesday.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding, locally
major flooding, of vulnerable areas near the waterfront and
shoreline, particularly Wednesday morning. Expect 2 to 2 1/2 ft,
locally 3 feet of inundation above ground level in low lying,
vulnerable areas. This will result in numerous road closures and
cause widespread flooding of low lying property including
parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/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.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Large breaking waves of 15 to 20 ft along
the oceanfront will result in widespread dune erosion and
damage to dune structures. Scattered overwashes are expected,
resulting in some flooding of roadways and vulnerable
structures behind protective dunes. Isolated breaches or
inundation of the barrier island is possible where dune
structures have been severely compromised by previous storms.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak surge of 4 to 5 ft will likely be
between times of high tide this evening and Wednesday morning.
Tidal piling will likely inhibit the recession of water before
the Wednesday AM high tide, which could cause locally major
flooding for area from Freeport eastward to Mastic. Of
particular concern are areas along the eastern Great South Bay
from Lindenhurst to Mastic and along the bay side of Fire
Island, where west to southwest gale winds may pile waters
Wednesday morning into afternoon along with 2 to 3 ft of wave
action. Residents in vulnerable communities should prepare for
the potential of major coastal flooding (3ft of inundation above
ground). In addition, flooding may not fully recede overnight
between this evening high tides due to tidal piling and heavy
rainfall, with flooding likely increasing well before the time
of high tide Wednesday morning.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
