Coastal Flood Statement

* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways (2.9 to 13.0 feet Mean Lower Low Water) around the evening high tides.

* WHERE...Eastern Essex MA, Suffolk MA, Eastern Norfolk MA, Eastern Plymouth MA, Barnstable MA and Dukes MA Counties.

* WHEN...Through late Monday night. The evening high tide periods tonight and Monday night are of the greatest concern.

* IMPACTS...Shallow pockets of flooding less than one foot deep affects the lowest lying areas along the coast, including Morrissey Boulevard in Boston. Roads remain passable. Shallow pockets of flooding less than one foot deep affect more vulnerable coastal roads along the North Shore from Salem and Gloucester to Newburyport. Rough surf will likely cause some splashover onto coastal roads around the time of high tide.
