Aviso de inundación costera

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, 2 to 3 feet of
inundation above ground level in vulnerable areas near the
waterfront and shoreline. For the High Surf Advisory, large
breaking waves of 7 to 9 feet in the surf zone. For the High
Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...Southeast Suffolk County.

* 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...Locally moderate flooding of
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. The threat
for moderate flooding is mainly for the north shore of the
south fork, the tidally affected Peconic River, and the north
shore of Fire Island. 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.

* SHOREFRONT AND BEACH IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 7 to 9 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.
