Aviso de inundación costera

* 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.
