...WIDESPREAD MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THIS 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 THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SOME BEACH EROSION IS
ALSO POSSIBLE BEGINNING TONIGHT.

AS ONE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WEAKENS ALONG THE COAST OF MAINE,
A SECOND LOW IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES AND 
EVENTUALLY PASS OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT. THIS LOW IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE QUITE SLOWLY AS IT REACHES THE OFFSHORE WATERS AND
WILL LIKELY ENHANCE THE ONSHORE FLOW TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...AND
POSSIBLY INTO WEDNESDAY. AS A RESULT, ADDITIONAL TIDAL FLOODING
COULD OCCUR INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

THIS EVENING'S HIGH TIDE ALONG THE OCEANFRONT OF NEW JERSEY AND 
DELAWARE WILL OCCUR 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. 

PLEASE LISTEN FOR FURTHER UPDATES AND STATEMENTS...AND POSSIBLE 
COASTAL FLOOD WATCHES OR WARNINGS FROM YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE.
