...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM EST
SUNDAY...
* LOCATION...Eastern Massachusetts coast from Salisbury to
Plymouth, including Boston.
* TIDAL DEPARTURE...Storm surge of 2.5 to 3 feet north of Boston
and 3 to 3.5 feet south of Boston for the midday high tide.
* TIMING...Moderate to Major impacts for the midday high tide.
Minor to moderate impacts are anticipated for the high tide
tonight, followed by lingering minor impacts for the Sunday
afternoon high tide.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Vulnerable structures along the
immediate shoreline will again be vulnerable for damage from
waves on top of high water levels for the midday high tide,
especially along the coast from Hull to Plymouth. Widespread
inundation of coastal roads and basements will again occur
with the midday high tide with inundation depths at or above 3
feet in some locations. Many roads will remain impassable
today and some neighborhoods may remain cut off for much of
the day. This continues to be a dangerous storm.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Severe erosion will continue and may
compromise protective dunes, seawalls, and other structures.
&&
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
Category thresholds are based on still water levels. Impacts
may be greater, depending upon wave action.
