Flood Watch / Flood Statement Statement as of 9:50 PM EST on February 11, 2006
... Minor to locally moderate coastal flooding is possible Sunday morning...
A low pressure system over South Carolina will gradually intensify as it moves slowly northeast... passing off the Virginia coast tonight then southeast of Long Island Sunday afternoon.
With a high pressure system draped southeast across New England... the increasing difference in pressure between these systems will cause northeast winds to increase. The highest winds will reach 25 to 35 mph with gusts between 40 and 50 mph with the approach of Sunday morning's high tides.
Tidal departures will increase to near 3 feet above normal... causing widespread minor flooding around the times of high tide Sunday morning. Pockets of moderate tidal flooding are possible.
Coastal residents should be prepared to take action to protect property in the event that coastal flooding does occur. If the storm tracks closer to the coast or is more intense than forecast... coastal flood warnings may become necessary for portions of the area.
