... Coastal Flood Advisory in effect from noon to 3 PM EST
Wednesday...
The National Weather Service in Taunton has issued a coastal
Flood Advisory... which is in effect from noon to 3 PM EST
Wednesday.
The coastal Flood Advisory covers south and southeast facing coasts
of Rhode Island and Buzzards Bay. Strong southeast winds will pile
water toward the South Coast of New England during the time of the
Wednesday afternoon high tide.
Minor to possibly minor to moderate coastal flooding is expected in
the upper part of Narragansett Bay. The storm surge in the upper
part of Narragansett Bay will likely reach 3 to 3.5 feet. Stronger
winds than expected could result in the advisory being upgraded to a
warning.
Along the more exposed south and southeast facing coasts of Rhode
Island and Massachusetts... a storm surge of 2 to 2.5 feet is expected
with 10 to 15 foot waves a short distance offshore. This is expected
to result in minor coastal flooding... mostly from waves splashing
onto the more vulnerable shore roads.
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.
