445 PM EDT MON SEP 9 2002

...SUBTROPICAL STORM GUSTAV MAY BRING RIP CURRENTS TO THE DELAWARE 
AND NEW JERSEY COASTS...

SUBTROPICAL STORM GUSTAV...WHICH WAS LOCATED AROUND 220 MILES SOUTH 
SOUTHEAST OF CAPE HATTERAS NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON...SHOULD 
CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWEST TOWARD THE OUTER BANKS TONIGHT. GUSTAV IS 
THEN EXPECTED TO TURN NORTH TUESDAY AND NORTHEAST OUT TO SEA TUESDAY 
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...REMAINING WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF THE NEW 
JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS. 

DUE TO THIS FORECAST TRACK...RIP CURRENTS MAY OCCUR DUE TO THE 
INCREASING SEAS FROM GUSTAV TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. 

A STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC COASTAL 
WATERS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL SWING AROUND 
TO THE NORTHWEST...LESSENING THE THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS BY WEDNESDAY 
MORNING.

THIS LATE IN THE SUMMER SEASON...MANY BEACHES ARE NO LONGER 
PATROLLED BY LIFEGUARDS. ANYONE VENTURING INTO THE WATER SHOULD BE 
ESPECIALLY CAREFUL FOR INCREASING SEAS AND RIP CURRENTS.
