THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO WILL MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH 
VIRGINIA TODAY AND TONIGHT AND INTO CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA SATURDAY. 
MEANWHILE, HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN 
CANADA AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE TWO 
SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN STRONG WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS TODAY AND TONIGHT.

WAVES JUST OFF THE COASTS OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE WILL BUILD TO 
10 TO 15 FEET TONIGHT. THE ROUGH CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN A 
POUNDING SURF AND LOCALIZED BEACH EROSION. THERE IS A HIGH RISK FOR 
DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING RIP CURRENTS TODAY AND 
TONIGHT.

ALSO...MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS LIKELY AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.

CONDITIONS SHOULD GRADUALLY IMPROVE DURING THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AS
BOTH WEATHER SYSTEMS LOSE THEIR INFLUENCE OVER THE REGION.

...MINOR LOCALLY MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING TODAY AND TONIGHT...

THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO WILL MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH 
VIRGINIA TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO PUSH WATER UP 
CHESAPEAKE BAY, AND THAT WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD MINOR TIDAL 
FLOODING ON THE UPPER EASTERN SHORE. IN ADDITION, THERE COULD BE 
LOCALIZED MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING. HEAVY RAIN FLOWING INTO THE BAY 
ALONG TRIBUTARIES WILL EXACERBATE ANY FLOODING ALONG THE BAY. 

WHILE ERNESTO IS NOT OF THE SAME MAGNITUDE AS ISABEL OR FRAN...ITS 
AFFECT ON THE BAY IN COMBINATION WITH THE HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO 
CAUSE MINOR TO LOCALLY MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING. LOCATIONS THAT ARE 
MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO TIDAL FLOODING ARE EXPECTED TO BE AFFECTED... 
ESPECIALLY LOW SPOTS ON KENT ISLAND AND TILGHMAN ISLAND.
