That includes those looking to move cars to higher ground.

Residents may use the non-metered spots at the LIRR municipal lot on Tuesday and Wednesday, officials said on Facebook.

For Amityville, a Coastal Flood Warning is in effect from 4 p.m. until 1 p.m. Wednesday, a Flood Watch is in effect from 6 p.m. until noon Wednesday, and a High Wind Warning is in effect from 6 p.m. till 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Heavy rainfall and/or runoff coinciding with Tuesday evening's and Wednesday morning’s high tides will exacerbate street and property flooding along the coast and tidally affected rivers.

Locally major coastal flooding (3 ft above ground) is possible due to tidal piling and wind shift from southeast to southwest, the National Weather Service said.
