STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE PUSHED UP THE DELAWARE BAY AND RIVER AND 
CAUSED THE TIDES TO DEPART MORE THAN TWO FEET ABOVE NORMAL. THIS IN
COMBINATION WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN MAY CAUSE FLOODING ON STREETS 
ADJACENT TO THE RIVER AT THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.

AT REEDY POINT THE TIDE WAS 7.42 FT AT 645 PM AND HIGH TIDE IS AT 
705 PM. SOME ADDITIONAL RISE WILL OCCUR OVER THE NEXT HALF HOUR.

AT PHILADELPHIA THE DELAWARE RIVER WAS READING AT 6.7 FT AND RISING. 
THE TIDE WAS 2.75 FT ABOVE NORMAL AND HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 949 PM. 

ROADWAYS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER WILL FLOOD SIMILAR TO OCTOBER 
29TH. SOME STREETS WILL HAVE SEVERAL FEET OF WATER ON THEM FOR A 
COUPLE OF HOURS FROM HIGH TIDE UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT.

THE RAIN MAY ACCUMULATE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES IN SOME AREAS. 

REMEMBER...DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED STREETS OR GO AROUND 
BARRICADES.
