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, including the Hudson River. * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 3 to 6 ft along the immediate shoreline will result in significant beach erosion and splashover seawalls and bulkheads, exacerbating flooding of shoreline roads and properties. Minor damage is possible to waterfront structures. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This forecast has been weighted towards a reasonable worst case scenario to account for differences in model depiction of low pressure track and intensity, and provide a safety margin for planning.
