Air Quality Alert issued June 20 at 11:11PM EDT

Alert Icon Weather Alerts

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has
issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties:

New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk,
Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam

from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Friday.

Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than
an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level
Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to
correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher
the AQI value, the greater the health concern.

When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of
Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous
outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health
effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of
elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with
preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease.
Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal
physician.

A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York
residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll
free number is 1 800 5 3 5, 1 3 4 5.

Coastal Flood Advisory issued January 9 at 3:33PM EST until January 10 at 12:00PM EST

Alert Icon Weather Alerts

* WHAT...1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level with this
evening and Wednesday morning high tides expected in
vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.

* WHERE...In Connecticut, Southern Fairfield and Southern New
Haven Counties. In New York, Southern Westchester, Northwest
Suffolk and Northern Nassau Counties.

* WHEN...From 7 PM this evening to noon EST Wednesday.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread minor flooding is expected
in the most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and
shoreline. Expect around 1 to 2 feet of inundation above
ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. Some roads and
low lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns and
homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront will
experience shallow flooding.

* RIVERINE IMPACTS...Freshwater runoff coinciding with this
evening and Wednesday morning high tides will exacerbate street
and property flooding issues along tidal reaches of rivers in
southern CT and Westchester. Surge up the Hudson River with the
Wednesday morning high tide will likely cause minor flooding for
low-lying river-front communities in Westchester, Rockland,
Orange and Putnam counties.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 3 to 5 ft during this
evening high tide. This may result in beach erosion, and wave
splashover onto shoreline roads and properties. Wave action
should subside to 2 to 3 ft for the Wednesday morning high
tide.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak surge of 4 to 5 ft will likely be
between times of high tide this evening and Wednesday morning.
The timing of an offshore windshift before the time of high
tide Wednesday morning should keep water levels below moderate
flood levels, but will exacerbate riverine flooding along
tidal reaches of southern CT and Westchester Rivers. In
addition, heavy rain during this evening high tide will likely
exacerbate urban and poor drainage flood issues for coastal
and shoreline roads.
