...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM EDT THIS
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Up to one half foot of inundation above ground level in
  low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...Ocean and Coastal Ocean.

* WHEN...Until 2 PM EDT this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...At this level, flooding begins on the most
  vulnerable roads in coastal and bayside communities, and along
  inland tidal waterways. Some partial or full road closures are
  possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...While additional flooding during high
  tides is expected to be spotty minor, persistent minor
  flooding is still expected for back bays into Monday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is
expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road
closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood.

Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal
flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The
water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting
yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to
costly repairs.

flood impact information for your local tide gauge.
