...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...
...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE INTO THE EARLY PORTION OF THE 
COMING WEEK AS WELL... 

A GENERAL NORTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY. THIS 
ONSHORE FLOW MAY DIMINISH A BIT AND BECOME MORE NORTHERLY DURING 
SUNDAY BEFORE BECOMING REESTABLISHED BY MONDAY, BUT EVEN IF THE 
WINDS DO SO, TIDAL ANOMALIES ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL. THIS 
PROLONGED ONSHORE FLOW, COMBINED WITH THE EXAGGERATED HIGH TIDES 
ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW MOON, COULD CAUSE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING 
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE EVENING HIGH TIDES ARE NORMALLY HIGHER THAN 
THE MORNING HIGH TIDES AT THIS TIME.

THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS, AND AREAS ALONG DELAWARE BAY AND 
RARITAN BAY COULD EXPERIENCE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. IN ADDITION, 
ADJACENT BACK BAYS AND THE LOWER DELAWARE RIVER COULD ALSO SEE SOME 
MINOR TIDAL FLOODING.

HIGH TIDES TONIGHT GENERALLY WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 830 PM AND 10 PM 
ALONG THE COASTS AND RARITAN BAY, BETWEEN 1115 PM AND 1245 AM ALONG 
DELAWARE BAY, AND BETWEEN 245 AM AND 345 AM ALONG THE LOWER DELAWARE 
RIVER. HIGH TIDES ACROSS BACK BAYS GENERALLY OCCUR A COUPLE OF HOURS 
AFTER HIGH TIDES ALONG THE COAST.

MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE MONDAY AND ON INTO THE EARLY 
PART OF THE COMING WEEK, AS NORTHEAST WINDS ARE FORECAST TO 
PERSIST.
