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

Florence lingers well south of the local area...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM EDT
FRIDAY...
...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING
THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...
* LOCATION...Coastal portions of Virginia Beach adjacent to the
Chesapeake Bay and the Ocean.
* TIMING...The high risk for rip currents continues through
today, and will likely continue through into the weekend. The
coastal flood watch will begin for moderate flooding on Mid
Day Friday and 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.
Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
