NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
545 AM EDT SAT SEP 18 2004

...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...

AS A SLOWLY MOVING COLD FRONT JOINS WITH THE REMNANTS OF IVAN IN A 
MOVE OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST TODAY, WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN AS THEY 
BECOME NORTHEAST AND NORTH TODAY AND TONIGHT, PERSISTING SUNDAY AND 
INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE COMING WEEK.

THESE WINDS WILL ACT TO PUSH WATER UP AGAINST THE COAST, AS WELL AS 
KEEP THE BACK BAYS FROM DRAINING VERY WELL. AS A RESULT, MINOR TIDAL 
FLOODING IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND AGAIN MONDAY, MAINLY AROUND TIMES OF 
HIGH TIDE. HIGH TIDE ALONG THE NEW JERSEY OCEAN FRONT IS FROM LATE 
MORNING UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON SUNDAY AND AGAIN MONDAY. HIGH TIDE IN 
THE BACK BAYS IS GENERALLY LATER THAN ON THE OCEAN FRONT.

RESIDENTS ALONG THE COAST AND TRAVELERS TO THE SHORE SHOULD BE AWARE 
THAT MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, 
AND REFRAIN FROM PARKING IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS OR MOVE YOUR VEHICLE 
BEFORE HIGH TIDE.
