Coastal Flood Watch issued September 23 at 3:09PM EDT until September 26 at 5:00PM EDT by NWS Boston/Norton MA

* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways (3.7 to 12.9 feet Mean Lower Low Water). * WHERE...Eastern Essex, Suffolk, Eastern Norfolk, Eastern Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket Counties. * WHEN...From Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Roads remain passable. Low lying areas and roads near Nantucket Harbor, including Easy Street, may experience pockets of shallow flooding less than one foot deep. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The exact timing for an approaching coastal low pressure remains uncertain. That will become important for peak surge around the times of high tides. Multiple tide cycles will be impacted, which combined with strong onshore flow may result in tides not lowering as well. Beach erosion will also be a concern, mainly for east-facing beaches.

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.
