Minor to moderate coastal flooding was caused by a low pressure system that rapidly deepened just south of Long Island early Sunday morning. Several hours of 35 to 45 kt east to southeast winds resulted in a quick build up of around 3 ft of storm surge for the Sunday morning high tide. An approaching warm front, increased southeast winds once again Monday morning, resulting in minor to locally moderate coastal flooding for the Monday morning high tide cycle.
