SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT - MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
222 PM EST SAT FEB 5 2005

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

HIGHER ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING NEW MOON 
COMBINED WITH A PERSISTENT NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE 
OF A WESTERN ATLANTIC STORM IS CAUSING HIGHER THAN NORMAL TIDES. 
TIDES ARE RUNNING .75 TO 1.5 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 430 AM TO 515 AM ON
SUNDAY MORNING, AND A BIT LATER ON THE BACK BAYS. ON THE DELAWARE 
RIVER AT PHILADELPHIA, HIGH TIDE IS AT 1118 AM SUNDAY MORNING.

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