TROPICAL\u00a0STORM CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WATCH AREAS THROUGH TONIGHT.\u00a0GALE FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ALONG PORTIONS OF THE\u00a0MID-ATLANTIC COAST BY LATE SUNDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHT AND REACH LONG\u00a0ISLAND AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY MONDAY MORNING. WINDS TO NEAR\u00a0HURRICANE FORCE COULD REACH THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES…INCLUDING\u00a0LONG ISLAND…BY LATE MONDAY.<\/p>\n
STORM SURGE…THE COMBINATION OF A DANGEROUS STORM SURGE AND THE\u00a0TIDE WILL CAUSE NORMALLY DRY AREAS NEAR THE COAST TO BE FLOODED BY\u00a0RISING WATERS. THE WATER COULD REACH THE FOLLOWING DEPTHS ABOVE\u00a0GROUND IF THE PEAK SURGE OCCURS AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE…<\/p>\n
FL EAST COAST NORTH OF CAPE CANAVERAL…1 TO 2 FT

SURGE-RELATED FLOODING DEPENDS ON THE RELATIVE TIMING OF THE SURGE\u00a0AND THE TIDAL CYCLE…AND CAN VARY GREATLY OVER SHORT DISTANCES.\u00a0GIVEN THE LARGE WIND FIELD ASSOCIATED WITH SANDY…ELEVATED WATER\u00a0LEVELS COULD SPAN MULTIPLE TIDE CYCLES RESULTING IN REPEATED AND\u00a0EXTENDED PERIODS OF COASTAL AND BAYSIDE FLOODING.
