...COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT...

AN INTENSE BUT QUICK MOVING STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO PASS ALONG 
THE NEW JERSEY COAST ON MONDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF AN 
EASTERLY WIND AHEAD OF THE STORM AND A STORM SURGE MAY BRING A 
PERIOD OF COASTAL FLOODING TO THE NEW JERSEY COAST AND DELAWARE BAY
ON MONDAY NIGHT. 

OUR CURRENT PROJECTIONS SHOW THAT THE PERIOD OF MOST SIGNIFICANT 
SURGE WILL BEGIN AROUND THE TIME OF LOW TIDE, AROUND 4 PM, MONDAY 
AFTERNOON. IT REMAINS A POSSIBILITY THAT THESE ENHANCED WATER LEVELS 
MAY PERSIST INTO THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE, BETWEEN 9 PM AND 10 PM, ON 
MONDAY NIGHT. IF THE STORM MOVES AWAY FASTER, OR TAKES A DIFFERENT 
TRACK, THE LEVELS MAY FALL BEFORE THE HIGH TIDE. 

IF YOU LIVE ALONG THE COAST, YOU ARE URGED TO PAY ATTENTION TO 
FUTURE STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS SITUATION. ANOTHER STATEMENT WILL 
BE ISSUED SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
