THIS STORM IS FORECAST TO BE ABOUT 100 MILES EAST OF THE NEW JERSEY 
COAST EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. WITH THE LOW IN THIS POSITION, STORM

GROUND BEFORE THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.

ADDING TO THE PROBLEM WILL BE HIGH WAVES COMING IN FROM THE OCEAN

NORMAL TIDES WILL CAUSE THE FLOODING TO BE LOCALLY ENHANCED.

IMMINENT. COASTAL RESIDENTS IN THE WARNED AREA SHOULD BE ALERT FOR 
RISING WATER...AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO PROTECT LIFE AND
