SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
440 PM 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 20 MILES 
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CAPE HATTERAS NORTH CAROLINA LATE THIS 
AFTERNOON...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 THROUGH 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.
