...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A COASTAL
FLOOD WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. 

A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE MID DAY SUNDAY HIGH
TIDE. THE COMBINATION OF AN INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO ITS NORTHEAST WILL BRING AN INCREASING
ONSHORE FLOW TO THE NEW JERSEY COAST. THE GREATER AFFECTS ARE
ANTICIPATED FARTHER NORTH ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST BECAUSE THE
LOW WILL CONTINUE TO BE INTENSIFYING AND THE STRONGEST ONSHORE
FLOW WILL COINCIDE CLOSER TO THE MID DAY SUNDAY HIGH TIDE. A
STEADY RAIN SHOULD ALSO BE OCCURRING DURING THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE. 
WIDESPREAD MINOR TIDAL FLOODING WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME
MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING IS ANTICIPATED. FARTHER TO THE SOUTH ALONG
THE NEW JERSEY SHORE TIDAL DEPARTURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS AND
CURRENT ESTIMATES ARE FOR ANY TIDAL FLOODING TO REMAIN MINOR.

ON THE BAY AT SANDY HOOK, NEW JERSEY, THE SUNDAY MID DAY HIGH TIDE 
WILL OCCUR AROUND NOON AND THE WATER LEVEL IS EXPECTED TO REACH 
AROUND 7.5 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER.

ON THE OCEANFRONT AT SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY, THE HIGH TIDE  
SUNDAY OCCUR AROUND 1145 AM AND THE WATER LEVEL IS EXPECTED TO REACH 
AROUND 7.0 FEET ABOVE MEAN LOWER LOW WATER.

THE STORM SYSTEM THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE TIDAL FLOODING WILL BE
FORMING ALONG THE GEORGIA OR SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN ON
SATURDAY EVENING. IT WILL INTENSIFY AND MOVE NORTHEAST AND SHOULD
REACH THE DELMARVA PENINSULA SUNDAY MORNING, NEAR DELAWARE BAY AT
THE TIME OF THE OCEANIC HIGH TIDE AROUND NOON ON SUNDAY AND
THROUGH LONG ISLAND BY SUNDAY EVENING. IF THIS EVENT OCCURS SLOWER
AND OR IF THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY FASTER, COASTAL FLOOD
WATCHES OR WARNINGS MIGHT BE NEEDED FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE NEW
JERSEY COAST. PLEASE LISTEN FOR FURTHER UPDATES.

AS THE OFFSHORE FLOW INTENSIFIES LATER SUNDAY IT IS POSSIBLE THAT 
BLOWOUT TIDES MIGHT OCCUR DURING THE LOW TIDES ON MONDAY.
   
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IN OR NEAR
THE WATCH AREA...BUT IS NOT IMMINENT. IF YOU ARE IN THE WATCH
AREA...CHECK YOUR PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS. KEEP INFORMED...AND
BE READY FOR ACTION IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR IF A COASTAL FLOOD
WARNING IS ISSUED. IF YOU ARE HEADING FOR THE SHORE THIS WEEKEND,
DO NOT PARK YOUR VEHICLE IN PLACES THAT ARE PRONE TO TIDAL
FLOODING.
