...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A COASTAL
FLOOD WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING. 

LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE VIRGINIA COAST THIS
EVENING, THEN INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES SLOWLY NORTHEAST AFTER MERGING
WITH ANOTHER LOW MOVING IN FROM THE MIDWEST. AS A RESULT, AN
ON SHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON, THEN CONTINUE AND
BECOME STRONGER AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES. THE
COMBINATION OF A STRONG ON SHORE FLOW WITH HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES
WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE NEW
JERSEY SHORE, WITH POCKETS OF MODERATE FLOODING, ESPECIALLY AT AND
NORTH OF ATLANTIC CITY. THE ON SHORE FLOW IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS
STRONG ALONG THE DELAWARE COAST, AND SO ONLY MINOR FLOODING IS
EXPECTED THERE.

THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE TUESDAY MORNING ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST  
OCCUR BETWEEN 930 AND 1130 AM. THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE LATE TUESDAY 
EVENING OCCUR BETWEEN 10 PM AND MIDNIGHT. HIGH TIDE OCCURS LATER 
ALONG RARITAN BAY AND ALONG THE BACK BAYS. POCKETS OF MODERATE 
COASTAL FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE DURING BOTH HIGH TIDE CYCLES. MODERATE 
TIDAL FLOODING GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE TIDE LEVELS EXCEED 7.5 FEET 
ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER.

FOR SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY ON THE OCEANFRONT, TUESDAY MORNING'S 
HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 9:37 AM WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO
BE AROUND 7.7 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER. TUESDAY EVENING'S
HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 10:15 PM WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO
BE AROUND 7.0 FEET.

FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER. TUESDAY EVENING'S HIGH TIDE
OCCURS AT 11:25 PM, WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND
6.0 FEET. ONLY MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED ALONG THE
DELAWARE COAST.

WHEN MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED, A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IS 
ISSUED UP TO 36 HOURS IN ADVANCE OF THE EVENT. A COASTAL FLOOD 
WARNING WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED AS THE EVENT DRAWS NEAR.

AT THE MODERATE LEVEL, THERE IS USUALLY WIDESPREAD ROADWAY FLOODING. 
DURING THIS EVENT, THIS WILL MOST LIKELY OCCUR ALONG THE COAST AT 
AND NORTH OF ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY. 

RESIDENTS SHOULD STAY ABREAST OF THE LATEST FORECASTS, AND TAKE ALL 
SENSIBLE PRECAUTIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF PROPERTY SUCH AS PARKING 
CARS IN AREAS NOT PRONE TO FLOODING.

A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR
FLOODING ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. COASTAL RESIDENTS SHOULD BE
ALERT FOR LATER STATEMENTS OR WARNINGS...AND TAKE ACTION TO
PROTECT PROPERTY.
