...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM EDT
SUNDAY...

THE COMBINATION OF HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES DUE TO THE RECENT FULL
MOON AND PERSISTENT STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
GENERATE HIGH TIDES IN EXCESS OF 7.5 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW
WATER.

HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION WILL CONTRAST SHARPLY WITH 
LOW PRESSURE WELL OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST, RESULTING IN THE
STRONG ONSHORE FLOW. THIS MORNING'S HIGH TIDE CYCLE, WHICH IS THE
HIGHER OF THE TWO DAILY HIGH TIDES, WILL PROVIDE TIDAL DEPARTURES
BETWEEN 2 AND 2.5 FEET ABOVE NORMAL.

ANY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THE 
TIDAL FLOODING, SINCE IT WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY DRAINING DURING THE 
TIMES OF HIGH TIDE. THE ONSHORE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH SUNDAY 
AND THE TIDAL FLOODING SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH.

HERE ARE THE TIMES OF THE NEXT HIGH TIDES AND THE WATER LEVEL 
FORECASTS FOR AREAS ALONG THE COAST AND INTO DELAWARE BAY.

415 AM EDT SAT OCT 7 2006

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

THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TODAY, AS HIGH PRESSURE TO THE 
NORTH OF THE REGION WILL CONTRAST SHARPLY WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER THE 
WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN, RESULTING IN A STRONG ONSHORE FLOW. THIS 
ONSHORE FLOW WILL LIKELY 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 TODAY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY.

HIGH TIDES OCCUR ALONG THE DELAWARE RIVER BETWEEN 1:00 PM AND 4:00 
PM THIS AFTERNOON...AND BETWEEN 2:00 AM AND 5:00 AM EARLY SUNDAY 
MORNING.

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 SOMEWHAT TONIGHT AND 
SUNDAY. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS FOR THE LATEST 
WEATHER INFORMATION.
