HIGHER THAN NORMAL ASTRONOMICAL TIDES COMBINED WITH A WEAK LOW 
PRESSURE THAT PASSED BY TODAY, RAISED THE WATER LEVELS IN THE BACK 
BAYS AROUND A FOOT ABOVE NORMAL WITH SOME ISOLATED AREAS 
EXPERIENCING MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IN NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE. THERE 
WAS LITTLE IF ANY TIDAL FLOODING ON THE EASTERN SHORE OF THE 
CHESAPEAKE BAY. 

ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE OHIO VALLEY LATE TONIGHT 
THEN TRACK TO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND MAY SPAWN A SECONDARY LOW 
PRESSURE ALONG THE MIDDLE CHESAPEAKE BAY REGION. STRONG SOUTH TO 
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE ON FRIDAY AND RAISE THE TIDE LEVELS UP 
TO A FOOT ABOVE NORMAL WHICH WILL ONCE AGAIN PRODUCE SOME MINOR 
TIDAL FLOODING AT THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING. 
THE HIGHER OF THE TWO HIGH TIDES OCCURS IN THE MORNING BETWEEN 8 AND 
10 AM. AS THE LOW MOVES QUICKLY NORTHEAST, THE WINDS WILL BECOME 
SOUTHWEST THEN WEST ALLEVIATING THE THREAT OF TIDAL FLOODING IN NEW 
JERSEY AND DELAWARE.

SOUTHERLY WINDS ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY WILL CAUSE A RISE OF A FOOT 
TO A FOOT AND A HALF DURING THE DAY. AS THE LOW MOVES TO THE
NORTHEAST THE WINDS WILL BECOME WESTERLY AND MAY PILE UP SOME WATER
ON THE EASTERN SHORE BUT PRODUCING ONLY MINOR FLOODING AT THE TIMES
OF HIGH TIDE IN THE EARLY EVENING FRIDAY. 

PERSONS LIVING IN AREAS THAT EXPERIENCE FLOODING EVEN IF ONLY MINOR,
SHOULD CONSIDER MOVING THEIR CAR TO HIGHER GROUND BEFORE HIGH TIDE.
 
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS WEATHER 
SITUATION, AND ANOTHER STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED EARLY FRIDAY 
MORNING.
