KENT DE-INLAND SUSSEX-DELAWARE BEACHES-
INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...DOVER...GEORGETOWN...REHOBOTH BEACH

...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE AT TIMES OF HIGH TIDE TUESDAY 
   MORNING AND AGAIN LATE TUESDAY EVENING IN DELAWARE...

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 MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE DELAWARE COAST
AND ASSOCIATED BACK BAYS, ESPECIALLY AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE
TUESDAY MORNING AND AGAIN LATE TUESDAY EVENING. THE TIMES OF HIGH
TIDE TUESDAY MORNING OCCUR BETWEEN 930 AND 1130 AM. THE TIMES OF
HIGH TIDE LATE TUESDAY EVENING OCCUR BETWEEN 10 PM AND MIDNIGHT.
HIGH TIDES OCCUR LATER IN THE BACK BAYS. HEAVY RAIN, WHICH IS EXPECTED
MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MOST OF TUESDAY, COULD AGGRAVATE THE
SITUATION IF RUNOFF IS UNABLE TO DRAIN OFF THE STREETS AND LOW
LYING AREAS. 

WHILE ONLY MINOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED IN DELAWARE
FROM THIS EVENT, RESIDENTS SHOULD STAY ABREAST OF THE LATEST
FORECASTS, AND TAKE SENSIBLE PRECAUTIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF
PROPERTY SUCH AS PARKING CARS IN AREAS NOT PRONE TO FLOODING.
