...SPOTTY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING POSSIBLE WITH THE MORNING HIGH TIDES 
TODAY....
...BLOWOUT TIDES POSSIBLE WITH OVERNIGHT LOW TIDES TONIGHT...

TIDES ALONG THE COAST AND DELAWARE AND RARITAN BAYS EARLY THIS 
MORNING WERE RUNNING BETWEEN ONE AND ONE AND ONE-HALF FEET ABOVE 
NORMAL ON SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. 

WITH WINDS NOT EXPECTED TO SHIFT BEFORE LATE MORNING, THE MORNING 
HIGH TIDES ALONG THE COAST MAY REACH IN EXCESS OF SIX AND ONE-HALF 
FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER IN THE MOST FLOOD PRONE LOCATIONS. 
THIS WOULD CAUSE SPOTTY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. HIGH TIDES ALONG THE 
COAST THIS MORNING GENERALLY OCCUR BETWEEN 600 AM AND 700 AM. 

TIDAL FLOODING TENDS TO OCCUR A FEW HOURS LATER OVER DELAWARE AND 
RARITAN BAYS AND THE BACK BAYS OF THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE 
COASTLINES, WHERE SOME MINOR TIDAL FLOODING ALSO IS POSSIBLE BEFORE 
NOON.  

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT IN DIRECTION TO WEST AND INCREASE DURING 
THE AFTERNOON, AND COMBINED WITH OUR PROXIMITY TO THE FULL MOON THEY 
MAY CAUSE BLOWOUT TIDES DURING TIMES OF LOW TIDE TONIGHT. TIDES OF 
TWO FEET BELOW MEAN LOWER LOW WATER ARE POSSIBLE. LOW TIDES ALONG 
THE COAST TONIGHT GENERALLY OCCUR BETWEEN 1230 AM AND 130 AM, AND 
THEY OCCUR A FEW HOURS LATER OVER THE BAYS.

PEOPLE NEAR THE WATER SHOULD BE ALERT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF MINOR 
TIDAL FLOODING THIS MORNING AND BLOWOUT TIDES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.
