...CLOUDS AND SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH OPHELIA COULD AFFECT THE 
NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION LATER THIS COMING WEEK...

HURRICANE OPHELIA, NOW OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. COAST, IS EXPECTED 
TO EVENTUALLY MOVE NORTHWARD OR NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD OUR AREA LATER 
DURING THIS COMING WEEK. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE TRACK AND 
STRENGTH OF THE STORM AS IT NEARS OUR AREA, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE 
VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT ITS EFFECTS AT THIS TIME.

HOWEVER, AREA RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO THE REGION SHOULD JUST BE
AWARE THAT THE STORM OR ITS REMNANTS MAY PROVIDE CLOUDS AND
SHOWERS, AND PERHAPS INCREASED WINDS, DURING THE MIDDLE OR LATTER
PART OF THIS COMING WEEK. AT A MINIMUM, EFFECTS OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS AND SHORES OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE MAY INCLUDE ROUGH
SEAS, HEAVY SURF, INCREASED RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS, AND BEACH
EROSION. TIDAL FLOODING IS ALSO A CONCERN GIVEN THE HIGHER THAN
NORMAL ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPCOMING FULL MOON
ON SATURDAY.

MORE DETAILED AND SPECIFIC INFORMATION WILL BE ISSUED AS THE WEEK 
PROGRESSES. SO, STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, AS 
WELL AS COMMERCIAL RADIO AND TELEVISION, FOR LATER INFORMATION 
CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENTS OF OPHELIA DURING THIS COMING WEEK.
