...Moderate coastal flooding is possible on Friday into Saturday
as Hurricane Florence approaches the North Carolina coast...
...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...
* LOCATION...Coastal areas near the Chesapeake Bay, the James
River, and Coastal portions of Virginia Beach
* TIMING...Friday morning through Saturday evening.
* 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.
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
