...NEW MOON CAUSING HIGHER TIDES...
...TIDAL FLOODING NOT EXPECTED...

HIGHER ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST 
MONDAY DUE TO THE NEW MOON, BUT TIDAL FLOODING IS NO LONGER 
ANTICIPATED.

TIDAL GAGES ACROSS THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS AND ALONG THE  
DELAWARE BAY ALL SUGGEST THAT MINOR TIDAL FLOODING WILL NOT OCCUR ON
MONDAY MORNING.

EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, TIDES WERE RUNNING ABOUT A HALF TO 
THREE-QUARTERS OF A FOOT ABOVE NORMAL. DEPARTURES IN THIS RANGE ARE 
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OR EVEN LESSEN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

THE NORTHEAST FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF A WESTERN ATLANTIC STORM WAS 
HELPING TO PUSH MORE WATER UP AGAINST THE COAST THE LAST 24 TO 36 
HOURS. THE WINDS ARE SUBSIDING AND ARE HAVING LESS OF AN EFFECT ON 
TIDAL DEPARTURES. HIGHER PRESSURE IS ALSO BUILDING IN ACROSS THE 
REGION. THIS WILL HELP TO SUPPRESS HIGHER TIDES AS WELL. 

MORNING TIDES ARE STILL RUNNING HIGHER THAN THE AFTERNOON OR 
EVENING'S HIGH TIDES. ALONG THE OCEAN FRONT, MONDAY MORNING'S HIGH 
TIDE WILL OCCUR AROUND DAYBREAK WHILE INLAND TIDAL PORTIONS, LIKE AT 
PHILADELPHIA, WILL OCCUR CLOSER TO MIDDAY.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TIDAL GAGES THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS 
THROUGH THE NEW MOON AND ISSUE FURTHER STATEMENTS IF NEED BE.
