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

SUBTROPICAL STORM GUSTAV...WHICH WAS LOCATED AROUND 200 MILES SOUTH
OF CAPE HATTERAS NORTH CAROLINA LATE THIS MONDAY EVENING...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 IN THE SURF ZONE MAY OCCUR 
DUE TO THE INCREASING SWELLS 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
