Coastal Flood Warning issued February 21 at 2:44PM EST until February 23 at 5:00AM EST by NWS Upton NY

Summary: * WHAT...1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level likely in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. * WHERE...In Connecticut, Southern Fairfield and Southern New Haven Counties. In New York, Southern Westchester County. * WHEN...From midnight Sunday night to 5 AM EST Monday. * COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding of vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline likely. 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level possible in low lying, vulnerable areas. This would 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 DETAILS...This water level forecast will be highly dependent on timing of windshift from northeast to north storm force winds with respect to the time of high tide, and will be refined over the next 24 hours.

Expect 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ft, locally 3 ft of inundation above ground level possible 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. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to northeast to east facing shoreline structures. * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking surf of 5 to 10 ft along the ocean front will cause widespread beach flooding and erosion during the time of high tide. Areas of dune erosion are likely, with localized washovers possible where dunes are compromised. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This water level forecast will be highly dependent on timing of windshift from northeast to north storm force winds with respect to the time of high tide, and will be refined over the next 24 hours. Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to north to northeast facing shoreline structures. Additional minor to locally moderate coastal flooding possible with the Monday afternoon high tide.

Ice cover in the bays and harbors could exacerbate flooding and cause damage to northeast to east facing shoreline structures. * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking surf of 5 to 10 ft along Gardiners Bay, particularly Orient Point and north shore of the south fork, will cause beach flooding and dune erosion during the time of high tide. This may also exacerbate splashover flooding of shorelines roads and properties behind protective dunes, structures and seawalls. Minor damage to shoreline structures possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This water level forecast will be highly dependent on timing of windshift from northeast to north storm force winds with respect to the time of high tide, and will be refined over the next 24 hours.
