* WHEN...From Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Minor flooding
will likely occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches with locally higher amounts
are forecast across the watch area Sunday into Monday. The
heaviest rainfall is expected to fall overnight on Sunday and
into early Monday morning. The combination of heavy rainfall
and the already saturated grounds due to heavier rain over
the last week could result in streams across the area
experiencing rapid increases and flooding along low-lying and
flood-prone locations.

* WHAT...Southeast winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph
possible.
* WHERE...Portions of southern Connecticut and southeast New
York.
* WHEN...From late Sunday night through Monday morning.
* IMPACTS...Damaging winds could blow down trees and power
lines. Widespread power outages are possible. Travel could be
difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.
* WHAT...1 1/2 to 2 ft of inundation above ground level is
possible in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline
with the Monday afternoon high tide. Up to 1 ft inundation
above ground level is possible for the with the Sunday Night
high tide.
* WHERE...Bronx, Northwest Suffolk, Northern Queens and Northern
Nassau Counties.
* WHEN...From Sunday Night through Monday afternoon. Localized
minor flooding possible with the Sunday Night high tide.
Widespread moderate flooding possible with the Monday
afternoon high tide.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread moderate flooding (around 2
ft of inundation) of vulnerable areas is possible near the
waterfront and shoreline, including roads, parking lots,
parks, lawns, and homes and businesses with basements near the
waterfront. Several road closures are possible, and vehicles
parked in vulnerable areas near the waterfront becoming
flooded. Flooding may also extend inland from the waterfront
along tidal rivers and bays.
* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 2 to 4 ft during the
Sunday Night and possibly Monday afternoon high tides, may
result in some beach erosion and localized wave splashover
onto shoreline roads and properties.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak surge will likely be between high
tidal cycles Monday morning. The timing of windshift late
Monday morning into early Monday afternoon will be critical to
the potential for widespread moderate flood thresholds to be
reached or exceeded. Residents of vulnerable coastal locales
should prepare for the potential of moderate flooding (around
2 ft of inundation) late Monday morning into Monday afternoon.
In addition, heavy rainfall and/or runoff coinciding with the
Sunday Night and Monday afternoon high tides will exacerbate
street and property flooding issues along the coast and
tidally affected rivers.
Patchy dense fog is being observed in the Lower Hudson Valley and
portions of northeast NJ and NYC. Dense fog will reduce visibilities
to a quarter mile or less.
Motorists in these areas need to be alert for rapidly changing
visibilities this morning and use low beam headlights. Allow
extra time to reach your destination.
