morning...
A coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 11 am EST this
morning for the Massachusetts east facing shorelines.
Very minor coastal flooding is expected along east facing coastlines
around the time of high tide this morning. This area includes the
most vulnerable locations of Scituate... Chatham and Nantucket.
Substantial beach erosion can also be expected... especially along the
Outer Cape and the east and southeast sides of Nantucket.
Strong northeast winds and seas as high as 15 feet offshore is
producing a storm surge of around 1.0 feet. Large waves on top of
this surge will be able to break over seawalls and other coastal
barriers creating splash over and spotty minor coastal flooding.
High tide this morning occurs between 9 and 10 am on much of Cape
Cod and Nantucket.
Do not attempt to drive through any flooded roadways and follow
the advice of local officials.
The threat of any minor coastal flooding will be over after 11 am.
Although there may be continued beach erosion from residual
swells... no coastal flooding is expected with the next tide cycles
this weekend.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A coastal Flood Advisory is issued for minor coastal flooding of
the most vulnerable shore roads and/or basements due to the
height of storm tide or wave splashover. The majority of roads
remain passable with only isolated closures. There is no
significant threat to life and any impact on property is minimal.
All tide heights are relative to mean lower low water. Time of
high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
