SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Tropical Storm Jose will continue to track slowly north and then
northeast later tonight, passing to the southeast of the area. 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 through Wednesday
morning.

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 7 to 13 feet through Wednesday. This will
result in widespread dune erosion and washovers.

Tropical Storm Force winds are possible into Wednesday morning with
sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph and gusts up to 45 mph.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* SHORELINE HAZARDS:
Prepare for dangerous surf of 7 to 13 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.
    - 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.

Elsewhere across Southeast New York, Northeast New Jersey, and
Southern Connecticut, little to no impact is anticipated.

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.
