...ANY IMPACTS FROM OPHELIA CONFINED TO COASTAL AREAS LATER THIS
WEEK...

THE LATEST FORECAST TRACK FOR HURRICANE OPHELIA CONTINUES TO REMAIN
WELL OFF THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY COASTS WITH ITS CLOSEST PASS
ABOUT 200 MILES EAST OF THE DELAWARE COAST ON FRIDAY. AT THIS
DISTANCE, THE GREATEST THREAT FROM THE STORM WOULD BE CONFINED TO
THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY COASTS. THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS, WHICH
WOULD OCCUR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY, WOULD BE IN THE FORM OF, ROUGH
SEAS, ENHANCED RIP CURRENTS, SOME MINOR BEACH EROSION AND POSSIBLY
SOME MINOR TIDAL FLOODING DURING THE EVENING HIGH TIDES. WITH
OPHELIA'S TRACK FARTHER OFFSHORE, TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS OR
GUSTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH OUR ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS AT
THIS TIME.

ALTHOUGH OPHELIA APPEARS AS IF SHE WILL EVENTUALLY HEAD OUT TO SEA, 
A HUMID AND SOMEWHAT TROPICAL AIRMASS WILL INVADE THE REGION LATER 
TODAY AND PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST TOMORROW. WITH A COLD FRONT 
ADVANCING IN FROM THE WEST, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED 
THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE FORECAST THROUGH TOMORROW. DUE TO THE MOIST 
AIRMASS, ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THAT DOES FORM WILL HAVE THE 
POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.  

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS, FOR UPDATES CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENTS OF OPHELIA.
