...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...

STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IN ADVANCE OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL COMBINE TO BRING A THREAT OF MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING THIS MORNING TO THE NEW JERSEY COASTLINE AND BACK BAYS. 

HIGH TIDE ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COASTLINE OCCURS BETWEEN 
8:30 AND 10 AM. BACK BAY FLOODING TENDS TO OCCUR A FEW HOURS 
LATER. 

THE COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA DURING THE MORNING
HOURS...ALLOWING WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND THEN WEST. 
THE RAIN WILL ALSO TAPER OFF TO SHOWERS AND THEN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
THIS MORNING. ONCE THIS OCCURS...THE THREAT OF TIDAL FLOODING WILL
DISSIPATE. 
 
THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A MAJOR FLOOD EVENT...BUT MORE OF A
NUISANCE...SINCE NORMAL ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE NOT EXCEEDINGLY
HIGH. THOSE IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR
RISING WATER. MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS...AND LISTEN FOR
LATER STATEMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
