* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Shallow flooding is expected in the
most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and shoreline
resulting in a low threat of property damage. Expect up to one

areas. Some roads and low lying property including parking
lots, parks and lawns near the waterfront will experience
shallow flooding.
* RIP CURRENT RISK...High.
