NWS Issues Coastal Flood Alerts With Saturday Night Advisory for Queens and Nassau

The Weather Service now expects higher Saturday evening tides to push water levels to around a foot in some shoreline spots.

Overview

  • Coastal flood statements, issued Friday by the National Weather Service, cover Hudson, Essex and Union from 7–10 p.m. and Westchester from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday.
  • For Queens and Nassau, an updated advisory posted at 10:17 p.m. Friday warns of up to one foot of inundation during Saturday’s 8 p.m. to midnight high tide.
  • Forecasters say moderate coastal flood benchmarks may be approached in southern Nassau during the Saturday evening tide cycle.
  • The Weather Service also notes a chance of additional minor flooding with Sunday evening’s high tide along vulnerable waterfronts.
  • Coastal flood statements and advisories flag tide-driven water that can cover low roads, parking lots and paths near the shoreline, so people in tidal areas should check for updates.
