...GALE FORCE WINDS EXPECTED TONIGHT... 
...BLOW OUT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AT LOW TIDES LATE TONIGHT AND
AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

LOW PRESSURE...MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...WILL REACH WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA LATE TODAY. SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL BE INCREASING TO 25 KT THIS AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE TONIGHT WITH GALE FORCE GUSTS EXPECTED,
ESPECIALLY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH FROM THE WEST. 
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE TONIGHT. ONCE THE FRONT
CROSSES THE AREA...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND REMAIN
GUSTY THROUGH TUESDAY.

THE GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS COMBINED WITH HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDAL
EFFECTS DUE TO THE RECENT FULL MOON MAY CREATE ENOUGH NEGATIVE
DEPARTURE FOR BLOW OUT TIDE CONDITIONS. DEPARTURES OF 1.5 TO 2
FEET BELOW NORMAL ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. 
THE LOW TIDE CYCLES AFFECTED WILL BE DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS TUESDAY AND THEN...MORE LIKELY...TUESDAY AFTERNOON. TIMING
WILL BE THE KEY FOR THIS EVENT. THE GREATEST DEPARTURES MAY
COINCIDE WITH THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE...THEREFORE MINIMIZING THE
EFFECTS. BUT A SHIFT OF SEVERAL HOURS IN EITHER DIRECTION COULD
VERY EASILY PRODUCE BLOW OUT CONDITIONS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR AS THE SITUATION EVOLVES.
