...WIDESPREAD MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND MONDAY 
EVENING'S HIGH TIDE...

A WEAK ONSHORE FLOW COUPLED WITH THE HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES 
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FULL MOON COULD PRODUCE WIDESPREAD MINOR TIDAL 
FLOODING ON MONDAY EVENING AND MONDAY NIGHT.

AS ONE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO LINGER OVER THE GULF OF 
MAINE, A SECOND LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND 
IT SHOULD EVENTUALLY PASS OFF THE DELMARVA COAST ON MONDAY EVENING.  
THE SECOND LOW WILL LIKELY ENHANCE THE ONSHORE FLOW ON MONDAY NIGHT 
AND IT SHOULD LINGER OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. 
AS A RESULT, ADDITIONAL TIDAL FLOODING COULD OCCUR INTO THE MIDDLE 
OF THE WEEK.

MONDAY EVENING'S HIGH TIDE ALONG THE OCEANFRONT OF NEW JERSEY AND 
DELAWARE IS BETWEEN 8:00 AND 9:30 PM.  HIGH TIDE OCCURS LATER ON THE 
BAYS AND TIDAL STREAMS IN THE REGION.

IF YOU LIVE ALONG THE COAST OR IF YOU WILL BE VISITING THE REGION BE 
SURE NOT TO LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE AT A LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO TIDAL 
FLOODING.  ALSO, DO NOT DRIVE AROUND BARRICADES.
