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

THE COMBINATION OF HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ASSOCIATED WITH THE 
APPROACHING NEW MOON AND A PERSISTENT NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW ON THE 
BACK SIDE OF A SERIES OF WESTERN ATLANTIC STORMS IS CAUSING HIGHER 
THAN NORMAL TIDES. TIDES ARE RUNNING ABOUT ONE TO ONE AND A HALF 
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 
EARLY THIS 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.
