LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE NORTH ALONG THE SOUTHEAST
U.S. COAST. AS A RESULT, THERE IS VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
WEATHER SCENARIO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS WE ANTICIPATE AN
INCREASE IN WINDS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL FLOODING AND
EROSION. GALE WARNINGS WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM NOONTIME WEDNESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY. THE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE
COAST EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A POWERFUL STORM, BUT A PERSISTENT
ONE THAT WILL AFFECT DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE REGION AT DIFFERENT
TIMES. THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE NEW JERSEY COAST AND THE RARITAN
BAY ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE WINDS REACHING GALE FORCE SPEEDS OR
39 MPH, AND MINOR TIDAL FLOODING.

A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR AREAS FARTHER SOUTH
ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST, WHICH WILL BE UNDER THE STRONGER EAST
TO NORTHEAST WINDS, ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE MINOR AND POSSIBLY
EVEN MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING BEFORE THE LOW PRESSURE MOVES FARTHER
OFFSHORE.

THE HIGHEST OF THE TWO DAILY HIGH TIDES WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 8 AND
10 AM ALONG THE OCEAN FRONT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNINGS AND
EVENINGS. MINOR TIDAL FLOODING BEGINS AT 6.7 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER
LOW WATER. BE SURE YOU MOVE YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU HAPPEN TO LIVE IN
AN AREA SUBJECT TO MINOR TIDAL FLOODING.
