Coastal Flood Watch issued February 20 at 4:27PM EST until February 23 at 6:00AM EST by NWS Upton NY

* WHAT...1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level possible in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. * WHERE...Northeast Suffolk and Southeast Suffolk Counties. * WHEN...From Sunday evening through late Sunday night. * COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding of vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline possible. 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level possible in low lying, vulnerable areas. This would 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. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to northeast to east facing shoreline structures. * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking surf of 4 to 8 ft along Gardiners Bay, particularly Orient Point, will cause beach flooding and dune erosion during the time of high tide. This may also exacerbate splashover flooding of shorelines roads and properties behind protective dunes, structures and seawalls. Minor damage to shoreline structures possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This water level forecast will be highly dependent on timing of windshift from east northeast to north gales with respect to the time of high tide, and will be refined over the next 24 hours. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to northeast to east facing shoreline structures.

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.

* WHAT...1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level possible in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. * WHERE...Bronx, Northwest Suffolk, Northern Queens and Northern Nassau Counties. * WHEN...Late Sunday night. * COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding of vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline possible. 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level possible in low lying, vulnerable areas. This would 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. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to northeast to east facing shoreline structure. * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking surf of 3 to 5 ft along north and east facing shorelines will cause beach flooding and dune erosion during the time of high tide. This may also exacerbate splashover flooding of shorelines roads and properties behind protective dunes, structures and seawalls. Minor damage to shoreline structures possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This water level forecast will be highly dependent on timing of windshift from east northeast to north gales with respect to the time of high tide, and will be refined over the next 24 hours.

* WHAT...1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft, locally 3 ft, of inundation above ground level possible in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. * WHERE...Southwest Suffolk and Southern Nassau Counties. * WHEN...From Sunday evening through late Sunday night. * COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding of vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline possible. Expect 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft, locally 3 ft of inundation above ground level possible in low lying, vulnerable areas. This would 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. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to northeast to east facing shoreline structures. * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking surf of 4 to 8 ft along the ocean front will cause widespread beach flooding and erosion during the time of high tide. Areas of dune erosion are likely, with localized washovers possible where dunes are compromised. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This water level forecast will be highly dependent on timing of windshift from east northeast to north gales with respect to the time of high tide, and will be refined over the next 24 hours. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to northeast to east facing shoreline structures.
