POTENTIAL IMPACTS



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



* SHORELINE HAZARDS:

Prepare for dangerous surf of 8 to 10 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, or in areas

farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.



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

with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where

surge water covers the road.



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

in usually vulnerable locations. Strong and frequent rip

currents.



- Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,

and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.



* WIND:

Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time

across Southeast New York, Northeast New Jersey, and Southern

Connecticut.
