... Coastal Flood Warning from 400 am EST Sunday until 100 PM EST Sunday...
The National Weather Service in Upton NY has issued a coastal Flood Warning.
Low pressure will move across the Ohio Valley Saturday afternoon and then off the Delmarva coast Saturday evening. It will then rapidly intensify as it passes south and east of Long Island Saturday night and Sunday. The tightening pressure gradient around the low will increase northeast winds to 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph Saturday evening... gradually turning north and increasing to 30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 50 mph by Sunday morning.
These strong winds will create tidal departures of 2 1/2 to 3 ft across the shores of the Great South Bay... Atlantic Ocean... and New York Harbor... and departures of 4 to 4 1/2 ft across the shores of Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound. These tidal departures will be on top of the lunar tides which will be approaching astronomical highs. This will cause widespread minor coastal flooding and locally moderate coastal flooding along the South Shore of Long Island and the shores of New York Harbor. Widespread moderate coastal flooding is expected across the shores of Peconic Bay... and western Long Island Sound. The most vulnerable areas will be the back bays and inlets. To make things worse the strong northeast and north winds will bring waves of 6 to 10 ft crashing upon the shoreline... increasing potential damage.
Those areas affected by moderate coastal flooding can expect 2 to 3 ft of washover over roads... inundation of cars and a some small scale structures... moderate shoreline erosion... and heavy surf.
Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards radio and other local media for further details or updates. Visit our web site at weather.Gov/okx.
