...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 5 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO
NOON EDT FRIDAY...

The National Weather Service in New York NY has issued a Coastal
Flood Advisory, which is in effect from 5 PM this afternoon to
noon EDT Friday.

* LOCATIONS...Northeastern Suffolk, Southeastern Suffolk and
  Southern Queens.

* TIMING...Until 11 AM EDT this morning and again from 5 PM this
  afternoon to noon EDT Friday.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...One to two feet of inundation above
  ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and
  tidal waterways, resulting in shallow flooding. There is a low
  threat of property damage. Some roads and low lying property
  including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses with
  basements near the waterfront will experience shallow flooding.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...The combination of elevated water levels
  and large breaking waves will cause beach flooding and erosion
  on the oceanfront and on north facing shorelines of the forks of
  Long Island.

* OUTLOOK...Additional coastal is possible into Friday night.

An offshore storm will continue to meander east and southeast of
our area through Friday. This will bring another period of rain
after some lighter spotty showers early, followed by a steadier
rain for much of the area later this afternoon into this evening.
The winds will increase today resulting in gusts up to 50 mph
across immediate eastern coastal sections, with gusts mainly
between 30 and 40 mph elsewhere.

The rain is expected to taper off later tonight and into Friday as
the storm will begin to gradually move to the east. The winds will
also begin to decrease into Friday. Overall, an additional inch to
an inch and a half is expected east of the New York City metro,
with amounts lowering quickly further west across the area.
Coastal flooding is also a possibility, and expected across some
coastal areas during times of high tide through Friday.
