Attention Teaneck Residents...
National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Warning and Wind Advisory (12/19 - 12/20)
COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6AM to 11AM THIS MORNING.
WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
* WHAT...Southwest winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 55 mph expected. Isolated wind gusts up to 60 mph are possible Friday morning.
* WHAT...Up to 1 1/2 foot of inundation above ground level expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.
* WHERE...In New Jersey, Hudson, Eastern Essex and Eastern Union Counties. In New York, Richmond (Staten Island) and Kings (Brooklyn) Counties.
* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor flooding is expected in the most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and shoreline. Expect up to 1 1/2 ft of inundation above ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. Some roads and low lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront will experience shallow flooding.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heavy rain during the time of high tide may exacerbate flood impacts. This forecast is leaned towards a higher end flood impact scenario, to account for slower trend in cold frontal passage and potential coincidence with heavy rain.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
Please secure all trash receptacles to prevent excess trash blowing into roadways. Also, use caution when walking outdoors, as strong wind gusts are expected.
Please monitor local forecasts and be alert for possible updates.
Please avoid driving into flood waters.
Be safe.
Thank you.
