Winter Weather Statement
Statement as of 11:26 am EST on January 22, 2005
... A Blizzard Warning remains in effect for this afternoon through
Sunday morning...
Snow will move in this afternoon. The snow will become very heavy
late this afternoon and evening..and may mix with sleet tonight as
warmer air moves in aloft. Total snow accumulations will be 16 to 24
inches by Sunday evening. In addition to the snow... northeast winds
will increase this afternoon... and will be quite gusty tonight and
Sunday morning. Winds may gust up to 55 mph late tonight and Sunday
morning... allowing visibilities to drop to near zero at times. These
winds will result in significant blowing and drifting of snow as well
as power outages. Wind chill values will be below zero at times.
A Blizzard Warning means that sustained wind speeds or frequent
gusts of over 35 mph are expected with considerable falling and or
blowing and drifting snow. Visibilities will become poor... with
whiteout conditions at times. Those venturing outdoors may become
lost or disoriented... so people in the warning area should stay
indoors.
Any travel is strongly discouraged. If you leave the safety of being
indoors... you are putting your life at risk.
This is a life-threatening winter weather situation! Preparations to
protect life and property should completed by noon today!
Flood Watch / Flood Statement
Statement as of 11:26 am EST on January 22, 2005
... Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect...
Northeast winds will increase to 25 to 35 mph tonight... with higher
gusts. This will push water westward into Long Island Sound and
Peconic Bay. The winds will increase further late tonight into Sunday
morning... while gradually turning to the north. Will a full moon
coming up on Tuesday... tides will already be approaching astronomical
highs. The main threat at this time appears during the Sunday morning
high tide cycle. Computer model guidance suggests that quite a bit of
water will be pushed into Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. Over
western Long Island Sound... a surge of 4 to 7 feet is expected to
pile on top of the normal high tide Sunday morning... with a 3 to 5 ft
surge in Peconic Bay. This will likely result in widespread moderate
coastal flooding... with locally severe coastal flooding possible. It
is recommended that all residents in flood prone areas take proper
precautions now to protect life and property.

The following are selected high tides and expected departures for the
high tide cycle Sunday morning...
