Coastal Flood Advisory, Coastal Flood Watch


... Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect from 2 am to 6 PM EST
Thursday...
... Coastal Flood Watch remains in effect from late Thursday night
through Friday morning...

A coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect from 2 am to 6 PM EST
Thursday. A coastal Flood Watch remains in effect from late
Thursday night through Friday morning.

The combination of strong east to northeast winds and high
astronomical tides are expected to cause tidal piling... while
long period easterly swells will prevent drainage of waters from
the bays.

Minor coastal flooding is expected during the times of high tide
late tonight into early Thursday morning and again Thursday
afternoon due to positive tidal departures of 1 1/2 to 2 ft.

Moderate coastal flooding is possible during the times of high
tide Friday morning with positive tidal departures of 2 to
2 1/2 ft expected.

In addition to coastal flooding... high and long period easterly
swells will likely result in high surf and moderate beach erosion
Thursday through Saturday.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

A coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for
flooding are expected to develop. Coastal residents should be
alert for later statements or warnings... and take action to
protect property.
