...Moderate to major coastal flooding is expected Friday into

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EDT
FRIDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT SATURDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS

...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING
THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...
* LOCATION...The rip current threat and high surf advisory is
for Virginia eastern shore Beaches. The coastal flood watch is
primarily for the Chesapeake Bay side of the Virginia eastern
shore. The coastal flood advisory is for both the Bay side and
the ocean side.
* TIMING...The high risk for rip currents continues today, and
will likely continue through into the weekend. The coastal
flood advisory is for minor flooding possible with the high
tide later today. The coastal flood watch will begin for
moderate flooding on Friday and will linger through the day on
Saturday.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread flooding of vulnerable
areas could result in an elevated threat of property damage to
homes and businesses near the waterfront and shoreline. Water
could lead to 1 to 2 feet above ground level in some areas
resulting in a sufficient depth to close numerous roads and
threaten homes and businesses. Flooding could extend inland
from the waterfront along tidal rivers and bays resulting in
some road closures and flooding of vehicles.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking waves could result in significant
beach erosion. Erosion and damage to dune structures is
possible. Actions should be taken to protect property along
the immediate shoreline.
* RIP CURRENT RISK...High.
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
