254 PM EDT THU AUG 31 2006

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...
...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING POSSIBLE FRIDAY...

THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE REMNANTS OF ERNESTO WILL COMBINE WITH  
HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA TO BRING A STRONG ONSHORE FLOW
TO OUR AREA INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. AS A RESULT, TIDAL DEPARTURES WILL
BE ON THE INCREASE AND ARE EXPECTED TO BUILD TO 2 TO 2.5 FEET ABOVE
NORMAL FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS IS LIKELY TO CAUSE MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH
TIDE ALONG THE SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS WILL OCCUR
BETWEEN 2 AND 4 PM. FORTUNATELY, ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ARE RUNNING
LOW BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE ARE BETWEEN THE NEW MOON AND THE
FULL MOON.

IN ADDITION, THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL PRODUCE INCREASINGLY
ROUGH SURF WITH WAVE HEIGHTS REACHING 8 TO 10 FT LATE TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THEREFORE, A HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT
FOR THAT TIME PERIOD.

THERE WILL BE A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS INTO SATURDAY. A HIGH
RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MEANS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE 
THREATENING CONDITIONS EXIST FOR ALL PEOPLE ENTERING THE SURF.

IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT RECEIVES TIDAL FLOODING...TAKE 
PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY. MOVE YOUR VEHICLE TO HIGHER 
GROUND BEFORE THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.

...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY 
NIGHT...

THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE REMNANTS OF ERNESTO WILL COMBINE WITH  
HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA TO BRING A STRONG ONSHORE FLOW
TO OUR AREA INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS FLOW WILL PUSH WATER INTO 
DELAWARE BAY AND UP THE TIDAL PORTION OF THE DELAWARE RIVER.
TIDAL DEPARTURES MAY REACH 2 TO 2.T FEET ABOVE NORMAL. THIS,
IN TURN, MAY CAUSE SOME MINOR TIDAL FLOODING AROUND THE TIME OF
HIGH TIDE LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT. HIGH TIDES ARE
4 TO 6 PM NEAR THE MOUTH OF DELAWARE BAY AND 8 TO 10 PM ON THE
TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER NEAR PHILADELPHIA.

IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT RECEIVES TIDAL FLOODING...TAKE 
PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY. MOVE YOUR VEHICLE TO HIGHER 
GROUND BEFORE THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.
