COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
854 PM EDT FRI APR 11 2003
 
...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH CANCELLED...
...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING EXPECTED WITH THE HIGH TIDE EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING... 

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS DISCONTINUED THE 
COASTAL FLOOD WATCH AS ONLY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS NOW EXPECTED TO 
OCCUR ACROSS COASTAL DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY AND IN RARITAN AND 
DELAWARE BAYS. 
 
COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE HAS CONSOLIDATED AND WAS DEEPENING EAST OF 
NORFOLK THIS EVENING. THAT LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND MOVE 
NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT TO A POSITION ABOUT 200 MILES EAST OF ATLANTIC 
CITY BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY.

TIDAL DEPARTURES HAVE DIMINISHED AND WHILE STILL ROUGH...WAVE ACTION 
HAS ALSO DECREASED FROM THIS MORNING. BASED ON TIDAL DEPARTURES 
ALONE...THERE WOULD BE NO TIDAL FLOODING AT ALL SATURDAY MORNING. 
BUT...SINCE THE WAVE ACTION IS STILL HIGHER THAN NORMAL...AREAS OF 
MINOR TIDAL FLOODING ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH 
TIDE EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.   

THE HIGHER THAN NORMAL TIDES...AND THE HEAVY WAVE RUNUP WILL 
CONTINUE THE BEACH EROSION ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY AROUND THE 
TIMES OF HIGH TIDE. HIGH TIDE SATURDAY MORNING WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 3 
AND 6 AM FOR MOST LOCATIONS. THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE IN THE BACK BAYS 
OCCUR LATER THAN ALONG THE OCEAN FRONT.

IT IS STILL ADVISABLE TO NOT PARK YOUR VEHICLES IN LOCATIONS THAT 
ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. SOME ROADS MAY BE CLOSED AT 
THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE...DO NOT DRIVE AROUND BARRICADES. THE MOST 
SUSCEPTIBLE LOCATIONS MIGHT EXPERIENCE SOME STREET FLOODING... 
ESPECIALLY IF THE LAST BATCH OF RAIN COINCIDES WITH THE HIGH TIDE. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...YOUR LOCAL RADIO OR TELEVISION 
STATIONS...OR YOUR CABLE TELEVISION OUTLET FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR 
UPDATES. ADDITIONAL WEATHER INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET 
AT WWW.ERH.NOAA.GOV/PHI IN SMALL LETTERS.
