(Out of Area)
HEADLINE: Coastal Flood Warning issued October 10 at 3:45PM EDT until October 13 at 6:00PM EDT by NWS Upton NY

DESCRIPTION: * WHAT... Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 ft along the oceanfront, 2 1/2 to 3 feet of inundation above ground level expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline for the Sunday afternoon, Sunday Night and possibly the Monday afternoon high tide cycles.

* WHERE...Southwest Suffolk County.

* WHEN...From noon Sunday to 6 PM EDT Monday high tidal cycles.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate to locally major coastal flooding likely with 2 1/2 to 3 ft of inundation above ground level in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline. This will result in numerous road closures and
widespread flooding of low lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses near the waterfront. Flooding may extend well inland from the waterfront and shoreline along tidal inlets, rivers and bays, which could flood some roads, homes and business that typically don't experience
flooding. Cars parked in vulnerable areas will likely be flooded and damaged.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 ft along the oceanfront on an east to west sweep will result in significant beach erosion and flooding. Widespread dune erosion is likely
with localized overwashes possible, resulting in damage to dune structures and localized flooding of roadways and vulnerable structures behind protective dunes.

INSTRUCTIONS: Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.

Did you know that in New York State a blue light displayed on a vehicle means that a volunteer firefighter or EMT is responding to a call?
Volunteers do not run blue lights when it's a non-emergency call. While this is only a courtesy light please give them the right of way, because you never know if it's one of your family members or friends that they are responding to.
In so many situations EVERY SECOND COUNTS!!! Thank you for helping us take care of those in need.
