NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1045 PM EST FRI FEB 4 2005

...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE 
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING AND AGAIN EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...

THE PERSISTENT WESTERN ATLANTIC STORM IS CAUSING HIGHER THAN NORMAL 
TIDES. TIDES ARE 1.5 TO 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL, AND WILL LIKELY REMAIN 
SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. 

AS A RESULT, MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIMES OF 
HIGH TIDE ALONG THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY OCEAN FRONT, AS WELL AS 
ALONG THE BACK BAYS AND TIDAL PORTIONS OF THE DELAWARE RIVER. AT 
THIS TIME, THE MORNING HIGH TIDE IS THE HIGHER OF THE TWO DAILY HIGH 
TIDES, AND IS MORE LIKELY TO FEATURE ANY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING.

ALONG THE OCEAN FRONT, HIGH TIDES ARE FROM ABOUT 330 AM TO 530 AM 
SATURDAY MORNING, AND A BIT LATER ON THE BACK BAYS. ON THE DELAWARE 
RIVER AT PHILADELPHIA, HIGH TIDE IS AT 1019 AM SATURDAY MORNING.

THOSE NEAR THE SHORE OR TIDALLY-INFLUENCED AREAS ARE REMINDED TO 
REFRAIN FROM PARKING VEHICLES IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS.
