...Minor to Moderate coastal flooding is expected later tonight
through Saturday across areas as Hurricane Florence meanders
westward into the Carolinas....
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EDT
SUNDAY...
* LOCATION...Portions of southeast Virginia, including the
Peninsula and southside Hampton Roads locations adjacent to
the Chesapeake Bay, and the James and York rivers, including
tidal tributaries.
* TIMING...Minor to Moderate flooding is expected within a few
hours either side of each high tide this morning and again
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 along the Chesapeake Bay. 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.
