"THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 8 PM EDT MONDAY.

LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OFF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA TONIGHT... AND TRACK SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND ON MONDAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE A STRENGTHENING NORTHEAST FLOW TONIGHT AND A STRONG NORTHEAST TO EVENTUALLY NORTH FLOW ON MONDAY. AS A RESULT...TIDAL DEPARTURES OF 2 TO 3 FEET ABOVE NORMAL ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND TIDAL DEPARTURES OF AROUND 3 FEET ARE EXPECTED MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH RELATIVELY HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AROUND TIMES OF HIGH TIDE BOTH TONIGHT AND MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE FOLLOWING TIDE CYCLE LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING MAY BE AFFECTED AS WELL.

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY INDICATES THAT ONSHORE WINDS AND TIDES WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE FLOODING OF LOW AREAS ALONG THE SHORE."

I have been, at times, called alarmist, paranoid, and radical.  I imagine there is likely excellent evidence of all of that lurking about in the annals of some journal, perhaps even mine.  However, this is not one of those times.  Many will see an isolated incident, I see plain truth and consequence.  If you don't follow the instructions, when you're done building the model, it looks all fucked up.

'nuf sed.
