   Coastal Flood Advisory.

Hydrologic impacts are possible again Friday night and Saturday with
more moderate to heavy rainfall. The exact magnitude and extent of
the issues are uncertain this far out.

-COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM TO 10 AM EST
WEDNESDAY.

-1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level expected in
  vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.
-In New Jersey, Hudson, Eastern Bergen, Eastern Essex
  and Eastern Union Counties. In New York, New York (Manhattan),
  Richmond (Staten Island) and Kings (Brooklyn) Counties.
-From 5 AM to 10 AM EST Wednesday.
-Widespread minor flooding is expected
  in the most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and
  shoreline. Expect around 1 to 2 feet 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.
-Runoff coinciding with the Wednesday morning
  high tide will exacerbate street and property flooding issues
  along tidal portions of the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers in
  Bergen, Essex and Hudson Counties.
-Peak surge of 4 to 5 ft will likely be
  between times of high tide Tuesday evening and Wednesday
  morning. The timing of an offshore windshift before the time of
  high tide Wednesday morning should keep water levels below
  moderate flood levels, but will exacerbate riverine flooding
  along tidal reaches of the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers. In
  addition, heavy rain during the Tuesday evening high tide will
  likely exacerbate urban and poor drainage flood issues for
  coastal and shoreline roads.
