SITUATION OVERVIEW

------------------



Tropical Storm Jose will continue to track slowly north and then

northeast later tonight, passing to the southeast of the area. The

system will be close enough for potential impacts.



The main hazard will be coastal flooding with 1 to 2 feet of

inundation expected during the times of high tide through Wednesday

morning.



Localized inundation of up to around 2 1/2 feet is possible in the

typically more vulnerable locations across Peconic and Gardiners Bays.



Dangerous surf will build to 7 to 13 feet through Wednesday. This will

result in widespread dune erosion and washovers.



Tropical Storm Force winds are possible into Wednesday morning with

sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph and gusts up to 45 mph.



POTENTIAL IMPACTS

-----------------



* SHORELINE HAZARDS:

Prepare for dangerous surf of 7 to 13 ft causing widespread dune 

erosion, and localized dune overwashes along the Atlantic beachfront.



* SURGE:

Prepare for locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts 

across Suffolk County. Potential impacts in this area include:

    - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along 

      immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots.

    - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become overspread 

      with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where 

      surge water covers the road.

    - Widespread beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly 

      in usually vulnerable locations. Strong and frequent rip 

      currents.



* WIND:

Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts. Potential 

impacts include:

    - Possible tree limbs broken off. Some fences and roadway signs 

      blown over.

    - A few roads impassable from debris. Hazardous driving conditions

      on bridges and other elevated roadways.

    - Scattered power and communications outages.



Elsewhere across Southeast New York, Northeast New Jersey, and 

Southern Connecticut, little to no impact is anticipated.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

----------------------------------



If you live in a place that is particularly vulnerable to high wind, 

such as a mobile home, a boat, plan to move to safe shelter. Take 

enough supplies for you and your family for several days.



If you live in a place particularly vulnerable to flooding, such as 

near the ocean, in a low lying or poor drainage area, or near an

already swollen river, plan to move to safe shelter on higher ground



Closely monitor NOAA Weather Radio or other local news outlets for 

official storm information. Listen for possible changes to the 

forecast.
