SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT - MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
355 PM EST SUN JAN 16 2005

...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE 
TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING...

A NORTHEAST FLOW CIRCULATING AROUND AN INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVING NORTHEAST JUST OFF THE EAST COAST IS PRODUCING
TIDES 1 TO 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL. THIS MAY CAUSE MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE LATER TONIGHT. MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING IS MOST LIKELY ALONG THE NEW JERSEY OCEAN FRONT AND
BACK BAYS, SINCE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES ARE CURRENTLY HIGHER
OVER THESE AREAS RATHER THAN FURTHER SOUTH OVER DELAWARE. 

HIGH TIDE ON THE OCEAN FRONT IS FROM ABOUT 1230 AM TO 200 AM EARLY 
MONDAY MORNING, WITH HIGH TIDE ON THE BACK BAYS ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO 
LATER.

MOTORISTS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE 
TONIGHT, AND BE ALERT FOR WATER ON SHORE ROADS THAT ARE PRONE TO 
FLOODING. BE SURE TO MOVE ANY VEHICLES AWAY FROM FLOOD-PRONE AREAS.
