Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
* WHAT...One to two feet of inundation above ground level
expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways.
* WHERE...Ocean, Atlantic, Coastal Atlantic, Coastal Ocean and
Southeastern Burlington.
* WHEN...From 8 PM this evening to 4 AM EDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in
coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal
waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to
vulnerable structures may begin to occur.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Increasing onshore flow during the day
today combined with the higher astronomical tides will result
in moderate coastal flooding with tonight's high tide. The
increasing onshore flow may also result in spotty minor
coastal flooding with the daytime high tide today. Tonight's
high tide is forecast to have the highest water levels and
greatest impacts with this stretch of coastal flooding, and
high tide water levels will lower over the weekend.
