The Coastal Flood Watch is no longer in effect.

* LOCATIONS...Vulnerable coastal areas along the Great South Bay
  and Jamaica Bay.

* TIDAL DEPARTURE...2-3 ft, above 6.3 foot astronomical high tide

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...There is an elevated threat of property
  damage. Widespread flooding of vulnerable areas near the
  waterfront and shoreline. Expect 2 to 3 feet of inundation above
  ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. This will result

  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.

  erosion and flooding along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, with
  only minor damage possible to dune structures.

* TIMING...Around the times of high tide Sunday morning.
