1248 PM EDT FRI OCT 6 2006

...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY
SUNDAY...

THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS WILL
BE DUE TO AN INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING TO THE SOUTH AND HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED TO OUR NORTH.
THIS ONSHORE FLOW LIKELY WILL KEEP THE TIDES FROM RECEDING
COMPLETELY FROM THE DELAWARE RIVER...THEREBY ALLOWING THE TIDAL
WATER LEVEL TO BUILD. THIS WILL RESULT IN AREAS OF MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING AT TIMES OF HIGH TIDE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY.

HIGH TIDES OCCUR ALONG THE DELAWARE RIVER BETWEEN 1:00 AM AND
4:00 AM SATURDAY...BETWEEN 1:00 PM AND 4:00 PM SATURDAY...AND
BETWEEN 2:00 AM AND 5:00 AM SUNDAY.

IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA OR TRAVEL IN REGIONS THAT ARE PRONE TO
TIDAL FLOODING...SUCH AS THE ADMIRAL WILSON BOULEVARD IN
CAMDEN...NEW JERSEY...PLEASE TAKE THE EXPECTED FLOODING INTO
ACCOUNT. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS.

THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH SOME DURING THE
COURSE OF SUNDAY. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS
FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
