The National Weather Service in New York NY has issued a Coastal
Flood Warning, which is in effect from 9 AM to noon EDT Saturday.
A High Surf Advisory has also been issued. This High Surf
Advisory is in effect from 6 AM to 6 PM EDT Saturday. The Coastal
Flood Watch is no longer in effect.

* LOCATIONS...Vulnerable coastal locales along Jamaica bay.

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

* TIMING...Saturday morning and afternoon.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS and TIMING...Widespread flooding of
  vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline is possible
  during the times of high tide Saturday morning, resulting in 2
  to 2 1/2, locally 3 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 rivers
  and bays. Additional minor coastal flooding is possible during
  the times of high tide Saturday Night and Sunday morning.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS and TIMING...Breaking waves of 7 to 11 ft
  along the ocean shoreline will result in widespread beach
  flooding and erosion with minor damage possible to dune
  structures during times of high tide Saturday morning and
  Saturday Night, possibly into Sunday morning.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

occurring. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water, and take appropriate action to protect life and
property.
