Coastal Flood Warning
Issued: 3:35 PM Oct. 13, 2025 – National Weather Service
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...

* WHAT...Moderate to LOCALLY MAJOR coastal flooding likely, 2
1/2 to 3 ft of inundation above ground level expected in
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline for tonight
and Monday afternoon high tide cycles. The probability for 3
1/2 ft of inundation is low and localized. This event poses an
elevated threat to property, and potentially to life.

* WHERE...Southwest Suffolk and Southern Nassau Counties.

* WHEN...Until 7 PM EDT this evening.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...This event poses an elevated threat to
property, and potentially to life. Widespread moderate to
LOCALLY MAJOR coastal flooding expected, with 2 1/2 to 3 ft of
inundation above ground level in vulnerable areas near the
waterfront and shoreline, particularly for tonight and Monday
afternoon high tides. This will result in numerous road
closures and widespread flooding of low lying property
including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses near
the waterfront. Flooding may extend well inland from the
waterfront and shoreline along tidal inlets, rivers and bays,
which could flood some roads, homes and business that
typically don't experience flooding. Cars parked in vulnerable
areas will likely be flooded and damaged.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 ft along
the oceanfront on an east to west sweep will result in
significant beach erosion and flooding. Widespread dune
erosion is likely with localized overwashes possible,
resulting in damage to dune structures and localized flooding
of roadways and vulnerable structures behind protective dunes.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This forecast has been weighted towards a
reasonable worst case scenario to account for differences in
model depiction of low pressure track and intensity, and
provide a safety margin for planning. Water levels would fall
on lower end or short of current forecast range if winds
remain more from the north versus the northeast.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
