...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS
EVENING...
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS
EVENING.
STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL GENERATE A STORM SURGE OF
1.5 TO 2.5 FEET. THIS COMBINED WITH INCOMING WAVES OF 12 TO 16 FEET
ALONG THE MASSACHUSETTS EAST COAST SETS THE STAGE FOR MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
SHIFTING AND DIMINISHING WINDS AT THE TIME OF THE LATE AFTERNOON
HIGH TIDE MAY LIMIT SPLASH OVER...ESPECIALLY NEAR SCITUATE AND ALSO
ON THE OCEAN SIDE OF CAPE COD.
THE PRIMARY RISK AREA IS BOSTONS NORTH SHORE...FROM MARBLEHEAD AND
GLOUCESTER TO PLUM ISLAND.
SPLASH OVER SHOULD BEGIN ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE HIGH TIDE AND MAY
RESULT IN BRIEF ROAD CLOSURES.
AN EXPECTED HIGH TIDE OF 11.7 FEET IS EXPECTED AT BOSTON AROUND 5
PM. THE WAVE ACTION ON TOP OF THIS SHOULD PERMIT SPLASH OVER FOR AT
LEAST A HALF AN HOUR EITHER SIDE OF THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS
ACTIONS...
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IS ISSUED FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING OF
THE MOST VULNERABLE SHORE ROADS AND/OR BASEMENTS DUE TO THE
HEIGHT OF STORM TIDE OR WAVE SPLASH OVER. THE MAJORITY OF ROADS
REMAIN PASSABLE WITH ONLY ISOLATED CLOSURES. THERE IS NO
SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO LIFE AND ANY IMPACT ON PROPERTY IS MINIMAL.
ALL TIDE HEIGHTS ARE RELATIVE TO MEAN LOWER LOW WATER.
