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

THE COMBINATION OF A NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW BETWEEN A HIGH PRESSURE 
SYSTEM TO OUR NORTH AND A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXITING THE VIRGINIA 
CAPES COUPLED WITH THE HIGHER ASTRONOMICAL 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.

MINOR TIDAL FLOODING SHOULD MAINLY OCCUR IN LOCATIONS AND ROADWAYS 
THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO TIDAL FLOODING. THE COMBINATION OF THE
NORTHERLY FLOW AND THE POUNDING WAVE ACTION SHOULD CAUSE SOME 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. 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 THE HIGHEST SPRING TIDES WILL HAVE 
PASSED.
