STRONG WAVE ACTION MAY RESULT IN MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING AROUND THE 
TIMES OF HIGH TIDE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING.

SATURDAY, AGAIN SATURDAY EVENING, AND AGAIN AROUND DAYBREAK SUNDAY 
FOR COASTAL LOCATIONS INCLUDING SANDY HOOK, SEASIDE HEIGHTS, 
ATLANTIC CITY, CAPE MAY, BREAKWATER HARBOR AND FENWICK ISLAND.

AREAS OF MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING ARE ALSO POSSIBLE FOR LOCATIONS 
ALONG THE DELAWARE BAY, INCLUDING REEDY POINT, LATER SATURDAY 
MORNING, SATURDAY EVENING, AND SUNDAY MORNING. 

BECAUSE OF THE SUSTAINED ONSHORE FLOW, MODERATE BACK BAY FLOODING, 
TIDAL FLOODING ALONG THE RARITAN BAY SHORE LINE, AND TIDAL FLOODING 
OF LOCATIONS ALONG THE DELAWARE RIVER FROM PHILADELPHIA SOUTH ARE 
POSSIBLE AS WELL. BACK BAY FLOODING AND TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER 
FLOODING TEND TO OCCUR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER COASTAL LOCATIONS. 
RARITAN BAY FLOODING TENDS TO OCCUR AROUND THE TIME OF COASTAL
