...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT
TONIGHT...Coastal Flood Warning for both of Monday's High Tuides
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EDT TUESDAY...

* LOCATIONS...Vulnerable locales along Queens and Nassau
  Counties.

* TIDAL DEPARTURE...1 1/2 to 2 ft, locally 2 1/2 ft above
  astronomical tides.

* TIMING...Moderate coastal flooding during the times of high
  tide this morning and again tonight. High surf through tonight
  and a high rip current risk through today.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread flooding of vulnerable
  areas near the waterfront and shoreline during times of high
  tide. Expect 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level
  in low lying, vulnerable areas. This will 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 bays. Heavy rain
  during the times of high tide will exacerbate urban and
  poor drainage flooding.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking waves will result in widespread
  beach erosion and flooding with minor damage possible to base
  of dune structures.

* SURF AND RIP CURRENT RISK...High rip current risk. Surf
  heights 6 to 8 ft.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is expected or
occurring. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water, and take appropriate action to protect life and
property.

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing rip currents and localized beach
erosion.
