...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM EDT
THURSDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT
THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, one to two feet of 
  inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near 
  shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards 
  Statement, dangerous rip currents expected.

* WHERE...Accomack County.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 8 PM this evening 
  to 4 AM EDT Thursday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 
  Thursday morning through Thursday evening.

* IMPACTS...Shallow flooding is expected in the most vulnerable 
  locations near the waterfront and shoreline resulting in a low 
  threat of property damage. Expect up to one foot of water 
  above ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. Some roads 
  and low lying property including parking lots, parks and lawns 
  near the waterfront will experience shallow flooding. Rip 
  currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into 
  deeper water.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, 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.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
