Coastal Flood Statement issued September 24 at 5:02AM EDT until September 25 at 6:00PM EDT by NWS Key West FL * WHAT...Minor saltwater flooding will continue across the Florida Keys today through Wednesday afternoon, especially around the times of high tide. Major saltwater flooding of 1 to 3 feet above ground level at the shore and the lowest elevations will be possible Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon, with strong southeast to south winds impacting the Keys as Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine moves northward through the eastern Gulf of Mexico and intensifies into a hurricane. * WHERE...Florida Keys. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Statement, through Wednesday afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Through Wednesday afternoon, minor saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is likely, with little relief during low tide. Some storm drains will overflow, and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters can expect less clearance under fixed bridges. Motorists should remember that persistent puddles around the times of high tide are almost certain to contain a mix of saltwater. For Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon, storm surge flooding may cause numerous roads to be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may be inundated. Some shoreline erosion may occur. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The initial storm surge flooding threat will be primarily on the oceanside beginning Wednesday evening, with a possible Gulf side surge occurring on Thursday as winds shift to south or southwest. All interests in the Florida Keys should prepare today for saltwater flooding of shoreline and low lying areas, as conditions will be deteriorating with increasingly frequent squalls and rising winds on Wednesday. If travel is required Wednesday night and Thursday, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
