Coastal Flood Advisory In Effect For Nassau This Afternoon

The National Weather Service is advising that there could be flooding this afternoon in coastal areas of Long Island.

According to NWS, the advisory is in effect from 1 to 4 p.m. today, and includes areas along the South Shore's back bays and any oceanfront properties.

Tides will be about 1 1/2 to 2 feet higher than average, the NWS says. This means there's a low threat of property damage, but that shallow flooding can be expected in flood-prone locations near the water. The NWS says flooding could be one to two feet in some low-lying places.

"Some roads and low-lying property, including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront, will experience shallow flooding," the advisory says.
