...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING POSSIBLE DURING THE SATURDAY MORNING HIGH 
TIDE...

THE COMBINATION OF A NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW BETWEEN A HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM OVER CANADA AND A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXITING THE SOUTHERN
MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST COUPLED WITH SPRING TIDES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
NEW MOON COULD CAUSE SOME MINOR TIDAL FLOODING DURING THE SATURDAY
MORNING HIGH TIDE. THE HIGH TIDE ALONG THE OCEANFRONT WILL OCCUR
AROUND 730 AM IN THE MORNING.

ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES THIS EVENING...AROUND 7 PM ALONG THE 
OCEANFRONT...ARE ABOUT A FOOT LOWER THAN SATURDAY MORNING. WHILE IT 
WILL BE RAINING DURING THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE...THE INTENSITY IS NOT 
EXPECTED TO BE HEAVY ENOUGH TO CAUSE PROBLEMS.

MINOR TIDAL FLOODING SATURDAY MORNING SHOULD MAINLY OCCUR IN
LOCATIONS AND ROADWAYS THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO TIDAL FLOODING.
THE NEARLY PERPENDICULAR FLOW TO THE COAST SHOULD ALSO CAUSE SOME
MINOR BEACH EROSION ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. GALE WARNINGS ARE IN
EFFECT FOR THE LOWER DELAWARE BAY AND THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WINDS SHOULD BE GUSTING TO AROUND 45 MPH ALONG THE COASTAL
WATERS AND BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SHORE ON
SATURDAY.

DO NOT PARK YOUR VEHICLE IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO TIDAL 
FLOODING. DURING THIS EVENING AND ESPECIALLY SATURDAY MORNING DO NOT 
TAKE ROADWAYS THAT ARE PRONE TO TIDAL FLOODING. NEVER DRIVE AROUND 
BARRICADES. 

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. ONCE ON OUR SITE...GO TO
THE MARINE PAGE AND THEN LOOK FOR TIDAL IMPACT TABLES FOR YOUR
LOCATION.

THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE ONLY A ONE TIDE CYCLE PROBLEM AS WINDS SHOULD 
WEAKEN...BECOME NORTHWESTERLY AND THEIR HIGHEST SPRING TIDES WILL BE 
BEHIND US.
