A series of coastal flood alerts and warnings have been issued across New York State as severe weather conditions are expected to impact various regions. The National Weather Service (NWS) has declared a coastal flood statement for Westchester County which will remain in effect until Monday midday. Residents are advised to prepare for potential flooding as high tides and heavy rainfall are forecasted to coincide with the tides, causing water levels to rise significantly. In Westchester County, minor flooding is anticipated, especially in areas typically prone to such conditions.
Additionally, Erie and Chautauqua Counties are under a lakeshore flood warning until Monday afternoon. This warning comes as expected winds and elevated water levels could lead to significant flooding along the shorelines of Lake Erie. The NWS has cautioned residents to be vigilant and to avoid the shorelines during this period.
Further, Queens and Nassau Counties have been issued a coastal flood statement for Monday, indicating that similar weather patterns could affect these areas. The combination of strong gusts and high tides may lead to localized flooding in coastal neighborhoods.
Local authorities are urging residents to remain informed about the situation and to take necessary precautions to protect property and ensure safety. The potential for power outages and infrastructure impacts has also been highlighted, with officials tracking the weather closely to provide timely updates.
