...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE 
FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...

MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE ALONG 
THE NEW JERSEY COAST AND IN THE BACK BAYS. THE TIDES WILL BE A 
RESULT OF CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW COMBINED WITH NORMALLY HIGH 
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW MOON. 

THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR TIDAL FLOODING WILL BE FROM THIS EVENING 
INTO SATURDAY MORNING. TIDES SHOULD LESSEN DURING THE DAY SATURDAY 
AS A WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH ALONG THE COAST SHIFTING THE WINDS TO 
SOUTH. A COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW SATURDAY EVENING ALLOWING THE WINDS 
TO SHIFT...BUT THIS TIME TO NORTHWEST.

BACK BAY FLOODING...FLOODING IN BAYS IMMEDIATELY WEST OF COASTAL 
BARRIER ISLANDS...TENDS TO OCCUR AFTER OCEAN COASTAL FLOODING. IF 
YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS PRONE TO TIDAL FLOODING...BE PREPARED TO 
MOVE YOUR VEHICLE TO HIGHER GROUND...ESPECIALLY DURING HIGH TIDE.
