...Minor to Moderate coastal flooding is expected later tonight
through Saturday across areas as Hurricane Florence meanders
westward into the Carolinas....
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EDT
SUNDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS
EVENING...
* LOCATION... The coastal flood warning is primarily for the
Chesapeake Bay side of the Virginia eastern shore where minor
to moderate flooding is expected. On the ocean side flooding
from Hurricane Florence is expected to be minor. The rip
current threat is for Virginia eastern shore beaches.
* TIMING... The coastal flooding is expected to occur within in
a couple hours either side of each high tide cycle through
Sunday Morning. The high risk for rip currents continues today,
and will likely continue through the weekend. The High Surf
Advisory is in effect through early this morning.
* 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.
* RIP CURRENT RISK...High.
