...A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT INTO THE EARLY 
OVERNIGHT PERIOD ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY, NEW JERSEY HAS 
CONTINUED THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING FOR THE NEW JERSEY COAST THROUGH 
100 AM EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

AT 930 PM LOW PRESSURE WAS WELL EAST-SOUTHEAST OF LONG ISLAND AND 
HEADING SLOWLY WESTWARD, AND IS EXPECTED TO LOOP SOUTHWARD OFF THE 
NEW JERSEY COAST OVERNIGHT BEFORE HEADING BACK OFFSHORE DURING 
THURSDAY. THE ONSHORE FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM WAS CAUSING 
TIDES BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL. IN ADDITION, ROUGH WAVE 
ACTION WILL LIKELY CAUSE SOME BEACH EROSION.

THE HIGHER THAN NORMAL TIDES WILL RESULT IN AREAS OF MINOR TO 
MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT PERIOD, AND 
THEREFORE THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN CONTINUED.

FOR SANDY HOOK, THIS EVENING'S HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 9:59 PM. THE TIDE 
LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND 7.5 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER 
DURING THIS TIME.

FOR THE SEASIDE HEIGHTS OCEANFRONT, THIS EVENING'S HIGH TIDE OCCURS 
AT 9:29 PM. THE TIDE LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE BETWEEN 7.0 AND 7.5 
FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER DURING THIS TIME.

FOR THE ATLANTIC CITY OCEANFRONT, THIS EVENING'S HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 
9:38 PM. THE TIDE LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE BETWEEN 7.0 AND 7.5 FEET 
ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER DURING THIS TIME.

FOR THE CAPE MAY OCEANFRONT, THIS EVENING'S HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 
10:06 PM. THE TIDE LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE BETWEEN 7.5 AND 8.0 FEET 
ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER DURING THIS TIME.

HIGH TIDE OCCURS LATER ON THE BACK BAYS THAN ON THE OCEANFRONT.

AS THE TIDE APPROACHES MODERATE, THE LIKELIHOOD OF MORE WIDESPREAD 
ROADWAY FLOODING TYPICALLY OCCURS. AS A RESULT OF THIS, SOME ACCESS 
ROADS ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST MAY BE CLOSED FOR A TIME TONIGHT. 
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER NOT TO DRIVE AROUND BARRICADES, AS THE 
WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK. BE SURE NOT TO LEAVE YOUR 
VEHICLE AT A LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO TIDAL FLOODING.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLET FOR ADDITIONAL UPDATES.
