breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet expected in the surf zone. For
the Coastal Flood Advisory, around 1 foot of inundation above
ground level possible in low-lying areas. For the Coastal
Flood Warning, one to three feet of inundation above ground
level possible in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways.
* WHERE...Accomack and Northampton Counties.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 7 AM EDT Friday. For
the Beach Hazards Statement, through Friday evening. For the
Coastal Flood Warning, from 5 PM this afternoon to 2 PM EDT
Friday.
* IMPACTS...Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property
including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure
may be inundated. Very dangerous swimming and surfing
conditions are expected, as well as the wave action resulting
in significant beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the
best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous
shore break can throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the
bottom causing neck and back injuries.
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.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
