SITUATION OVERVIEW

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



Hurricane Jose will continue to track slowly north and then

northeast later today, passing to the southeast of the area late

tonight into Wednesday as a tropical storm. 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 tonight into

Wednesday. 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 10 to 15 feet through Wednesday. This

will result in widespread dune erosion and washovers.



Tropical Storm Force winds are possible tonight into Wednesday with

sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph and gusts up to 50 mph.



POTENTIAL IMPACTS

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



* SHORELINE HAZARDS:

Prepare for dangerous surf of 10 to 15 ft causing widespread dune 

erosion, and localized dune overwashes along the Atlantic beachfront. 



* SURGE:

Prepare for locally hazardous surge having possible 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.



* FLOODING RAIN:

Prepare for locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible 

limited impacts. Potential impacts include:

    - Small streams, creeks and canals may become swollen and could 

      overflow in spots.

    - Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in usually 

      vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding of water 

      occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage 

      areas. Some brief road and bridge closures. 





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.
