A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING
TO 6 AM EDT TUESDAY. 

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING OFF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA AND A HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM PUSHING DOWN FROM THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL
KEEP THE AREA IN A STRONG ONSHORE FLOW FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. THIS PERSISTENT NORTHEAST FLOW COUPLED WITH A NEW MOON AND
HIGHER THAN NORMAL ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL BRING WIDESPREAD MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING TO THE AREA BEGINNING AROUND HIGH TIDE THIS
EVENING. MINOR TIDAL FLOODING CONDITIONS WILL THEN CONTINUE DURING
THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE MONDAY AND AGAIN ON MONDAY EVENING. THE
MOST WIDESPREAD MINOR TIDAL FLOODING SHOULD OCCUR DURING THE
EVENING HIGH TIDES THIS EVENING AND MONDAY EVENING. COMPARABLE
DEPARTURES ARE EXPECTED WITH BOTH OF THOSE HIGH TIDES.

A LARGE POUNDING SURF WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY AND WILL PRODUCE
BEACH EROSION.

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR
MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS PRONE TO
TIDAL FLOODING...BE PREPARED TO MOVE YOUR VEHICLE TO HIGHER
GROUND...ESPECIALLY DURING HIGH TIDE. SOME ROADWAYS MAY BE CLOSED
AT TIMES OF HIGH TIDE. USE ROADWAYS THAT ARE NOT PRONE TO TIDAL
FLOODING. 

THE ONSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN ON TUESDAY AND ANY
ADDITIONAL TIDAL FLOODING AS THIS JUNCTURE IS EXPECTED TO BE MUCH
MORE ISOLATED.
