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

LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE VIRGINIA COAST TONIGHT 
AND INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST.  THIS LOW WILL MERGE WITH
ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY. AS A RESULT, ONSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH TUESDAY AND STRENGTHEN AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
INTENSIFIES. THE COMBINATION OF A STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WITH HIGH
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING ALONG THE NEW JERSEY SHORE, WITH POCKETS OF MODERATE
FLOODING.

HIGH TIDE ON TUESDAY MORNING WILL OCCUR ALONG THE OCEAN BETWEEN 930 
AND 1130 AM. THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE LATE TUESDAY EVENING OCCUR 
BETWEEN 1000 PM AND MIDNIGHT. HIGH TIDE OCCURS LATER ALONG THE 
RARITAN BAY AND ALONG THE BACK BAYS. POCKETS OF MODERATE COASTAL 
FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE DURING BOTH HIGH TIDE CYCLES, BUT MORE LIKELY 
DURING THE MORNING CYCLE WHEN ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL BE ABOUT A 
FOOT HIGHER. MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE TIDE 
LEVELS EXCEED 7.5 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER.

FOR SANDY HOOK, NEW JERSEY, TUESDAY MORNING'S HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 
1007 AM, WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND 8.0 FEET 
ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER. TUESDAY EVENING'S HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 
1045 PM, WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE BETWEEN 7.0 AND 7.5 
FEET.

FOR SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY ON THE OCEANFRONT, TUESDAY MORNING'S 
HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 937 AM WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE 
AROUND 7.5 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER. TUESDAY EVENING'S HIGH 
TIDE OCCURS AT 1015 PM WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE 
BETWEEN 6.5 AND 7.0 FEET.

FOR ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY ON THE OCEAN, TUESDAY MORNING'S HIGH 
TIDE OCCURS AT 942 AM, WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE 
BETWEEN 7.0 AND 7.5 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER. TUESDAY 
EVENING'S HIGH TIDE OCCURS AT 1014 PM, WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS 
FORECAST TO BE AROUND 6.5 FEET.

FOR CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY ON THE OCEAN, TUESDAY MORNING'S HIGH TIDE 
OCCURS AT 1051 AM, WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE BETWEEN 
7.5 AND 8.0 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER. TUESDAY EVENING'S HIGH 
TIDE OCCURS AT 1122 PM, WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS FORECAST TO BE 
AROUND 7.0 FEET.

A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR FLOODING 
COULD DEVELOP. COASTAL RESIDENTS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR LATER 
STATEMENTS OR WARNINGS AND TAKE ACTION IF NECESSARY TO PROTECT 
PROPERTY, SUCH AS PARKING CARS IN AREAS NOT PRONE TO FLOODING.
