Coastal Flood Watch until 12:00AM Wednesday

* WHAT...For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Watch, one to two feet of inundation above ground level possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...Coastal Atlantic.

* WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through Tuesday evening. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening.

* IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Spotty minor flooding is possible with Monday evening's high tide, but it is expected to be below advisory thresholds. Some additional coastal flooding will be possible with Wednesday evening's high tide, but water levels look like they will be somewhat lower than Tuesday.

* AFFECTED AREAS: COASTAL ATLANTIC

Instructions:

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
