COASTAL FLOOD WATCH
Warning Issue Date: 942 PM EST SAT JAN 02 2010
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM EST SUNDAY...
...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TAUNTON HAS ISSUED A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM EST SUNDAY. A
COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
AN INTENSIFYING STORM OVER THE GULF OF MAINE WILL TRACK SLIGHTLY
WEST TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SEAS JUST OFF THE EAST COAST OF
MASSACHUSETTS WILL BUILD TO 8 TO 15 FEET. THIS STORM WILL ALSO
PRODUCE A STORM SURGE OF 1.5 TO 2.0 FEET ALONG THE EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS SHORELINE...INCLUDING NANTUCKET.
THESE SURGE VALUES AND THE WAVE ACTION WILL COMBINE WITH HIGH
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES TO PRODUCE STORM TIDES JUST BELOW FLOOD STAGE
DURING THE MIDNIGHT HIGH TIDE TONIGHT. SPLASHOVER AND MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING IS EXPECTED ALONG THE EAST COAST TONIGHT DURING THE HIGH
TIDE CYCLE. A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
FURTHER...WIDESPREAD MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED
DURING THE MIDDAY HIGH TIDE SUNDAY. THESE SURGE VALUES ADDED TO THE
ASTRONOMICAL TIDE WILL PUT THE STORM TIDE VERY NEAR OR ABOVE FLOOD
STAGE DURING THE MIDDAY SUNDAY HIGH TIDE. IN ADDITION...THE WESTWARD
MOVING SEAS SHOULD RESULT IN BREAKING WAVES OVER SEAWALLS AND OTHER
COASTAL BARRIERS. SOME BEACH EROSION ALONG EAST FACING BEACHES IS
LIKELY. THUS A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE MIDDAY SUNDAY
HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
MODERATE OR MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING. MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING
PRODUCES WIDESPREAD FLOODING OF VULNERABLE SHORE ROADS AND/OR
BASEMENTS DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF STORM TIDE AND/OR WAVE ACTION.
NUMEROUS ROAD CLOSURES ARE NEEDED. LIVES MAY BE AT RISK FOR
PEOPLE WHO PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY. ISOLATED STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE MAY BE OBSERVED.
ALL TIDE HEIGHTS ARE RELATIVE TO MEAN LOWER LOW WATER. TIME OF HIGH
TOTAL TIDES ARE APPROXIMATE TO THE NEAREST HOUR.
