...SPOTTY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY

TIDE HEIGHTS AT TIMES OF HIGH TIDE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WILL ONCE AGAIN APPROACH MINOR TIDAL FLOOD LEVELS. DRAINAGE OF
ADJACENT BACK BAYS AND THE DELAWARE AND RARITAN BAYS WILL CONTINUE
TO BE INHIBITED SOMEWHAT BY THE CONTINUED NORTHEAST FLOW, SO SOME
MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE AT THOSE LOCATIONS THIS
EVENING.

THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS LOW PRESSURE WELL OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST MOVES
VERY SLOWLY. WATER LEVELS WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH SUNDAY,
ONCE AGAIN BRINGING THE POSSIBILITY OF MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
DURING SUNDAY EVENINGS HIGH TIDE CYCLE.

LARGE LONG PERIOD SWELLS ROLLING ONTO THE BEACHES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WILL BRING A CONTINUING THREAT OF BEACH EROSION.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE IN A LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO TIDAL 
FLOODING.  ALSO, DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS, THE WATER MAY BE 
DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS.

IF YOU LIVE ALONG THE COAST OF NEW JERSEY OR DELAWARE OR IF YOU 
WILL BE VISITING EITHER OF THOSE LOCATIONS DURING THE COMING DAYS 
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER WEATHER FORECASTS
AND STATEMENTS.
