...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING ALONG THE COASTAL

LOW PRESSURE IN THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES THROUGH THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHEAST
FROM THE LOW WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EAST CROSSING THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.

TIDAL DEPARTURES WILL RUN 1 FOOT ABOVE NORMAL AS SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS INCREASE THROUGH THIS EVENING. THESE TIDAL DEPARTURES WILL
CAUSE SOME MINOR TIDAL FLOODING AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE THIS
EVENING, MAINLY BETWEEN 9 PM AND 10 PM. MINOR TIDAL FLOODING WAS
REPORTED IN MONMOUTH COUNTY THIS MORNING, WITH WATER ON SOME
ROADWAYS.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST AND THEN WEST TONIGHT, 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 THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE FRONT MOVES TO THE
EAST, 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 EARLY THIS EVENING. 

PERSONS LIVING IN AREAS THAT EXPERIENCE FLOODING, EVEN IF ONLY MINOR,
SHOULD CONSIDER MOVING THEIR CAR TO HIGHER GROUND BEFORE HIGH TIDE.

SITUATION, AND ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED AS NEEDED. 

AS ALWAYS, STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA FOR 
FURTHER DETAILS OR UPDATES.
