SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
930 AM EDT TUE SEP 10 2002

...TROPICAL STORM GUSTAV MAY BRING RIP CURRENTS TO THE DELAWARE AND 
NEW JERSEY COASTS THROUGH TONIGHT...

TROPICAL STORM GUSTAV...WHICH WAS LOCATED ABOUT 115 MILES SOUTH OF 
CAPE HATTERAS NORTH CAROLINA AT 800 AM EDT...IS FORECAST TO MOVE 
NORTH TOWARD THE OUTER BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE TURNING 
NORTHEAST AND OUT TO SEA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

ALTHOUGH GUSTAV IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF 
THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS...RIP CURRENTS IN THE SURF ZONE 
MAY OCCUR DUE TO INCREASING SWELLS TODAY INTO TONIGHT. 

A STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC COASTAL 
WATERS LATE TONIGHT. 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 SURF AND RIP CURRENTS.
