SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1115 AM EDT SUN SEP 1 2002

...HEAVY SURF ADVISORY FOR TODAY...
...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING THIS AFTERNOON...

A STIFF EAST WIND OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING 
ALONG THE COASTS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE.  WAVE HEIGHTS JUST 
OFFSHORE RANGE FROM 6 TO 10 FEET AND THERE IS A HEAVY SURF BREAKING 
ALONG THE BEACHES.  THE HEAVY SURF WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE BEACH 
EROSION AND CREATE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR RIP CURRENTS.  AS A 
RESULT...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A HEAVY SURF 
ADVISORY FOR THE NEW JERSEY SHORE AND THE DELAWARE BEACHES FOR TODAY.

THE STRONG ONSHORE WIND FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE TIDAL WATER TO 
BUILD UP ALONG THE COAST AND ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK BAYS.  THE BUILD 
UP OF WATER IN COMBINATION WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN 
WILL LIKELY RESULT IN MINOR TIDAL FLOODING THIS AFTERNOON.  THE 
FLOODING WILL OCCUR MAINLY DURING THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS...AROUND 
THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.

THE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING MAY RESULT IN SOME ROADWAY FLOODING.  SOME 
PROBLEM LOCATIONS MAY INCLUDE WEST ATLANTIC CITY AND NORTH WILDWOOD 
IN NEW JERSEY AND FENWICK ISLAND IN DELAWARE.  DO NOT PARK YOUR 
VEHICLE IN AN AREA THAT IS OR APPEARS TO BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO TIDAL 
FLOODING.

DUE TO THE STRONG WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ALSO 
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE COASTAL WATERS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE.
