SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
306 PM EDT WED AUG 28 2002

...STREET FLOODING POSSIBLE AROUND TIME OF HIGH TIDE TONIGHT... 

CONTINUED STRONG EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL PERSIST TONIGHT. THIS 
WILL CAUSE ROUGH SEAS AND HIGH WAVE ACTION TO AFFECT THE COAST. 
BEACH GOERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THIS IS A VERY GOOD SETUP FOR RIP 
CURRENTS.

WHILE THE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES ARE SOMEWHAT LOW...THE COMBINED 
WIND AND WAVE ACTION WILL CAUSE THE ACTUAL HIGH TIDE TO BE ABOUT 6 
FEET WHEN HIGH TIDE OCCURS AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. NORMALLY THIS 
HEIGHT DOES NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS AT THE SHORE. HOWEVER...HEAVY RAINS 
WILL BE MOVING IN NEAR THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE AROUND MIDNIGHT AND 
THIS MAY CAUSE SOME STREETS TO BECOME FLOODED.

PERSONS NEAR AREAS SUBJECT TO TIDAL FLOODING MAY WANT TO CONSIDER 
MOVING THEIR CAR BEFORE HIGH TIDE ARRIVES AROUND MIDNIGHT.
