...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EDT
TUESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS CONTINUING THE COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM EDT TUESDAY.

LOW PRESSURE WELL OFF THE EAST COAST AND HIGH PRESSURE PUSHING DOWN
FROM THE NORTH WILL KEEP THE MARINE AREA IN A STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AT
LEAST INTO TUESDAY AND POSSIBLY LONGER. MINOR TIDAL FLOODING 
OCCURRED AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE OVERNIGHT AND IS EXPECTED
TO OCCUR AGAIN FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT TWO HIGH TIDE CYCLES. THE NEXT
HIGH TIDE DURING THE DAY TODAY IS THE ASTRONOMICALLY LOWER OF THE TWO
HIGH TIDES. THEREFORE, MINOR TIDAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO BE SPOTTY
TODAY. THE HIGH TIDE TONIGHT IS THE HIGHER OF THE TWO ASTRONOMICALLY
AND WE COULD SEE MORE WIDESPREAD MINOR FLOODING, POSSIBLY EVEN
APPROACHING MODERATE IN THE MOST VULNERABLE AREAS.

TIDAL DEPARTURES ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER AFTER TONIGHT'S HIGH TIDE CYCLE
AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES. THAT DOES
NOT MEAN THAT WE CAN DROP OUR GUARD AS FAR AS ADDITIONAL FLOODING GOES.
RESIDUAL WATER WILL REMAIN QUITE HIGH AND IF DEPARTURES DON'T DROP FAST
ENOUGH, THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL FLOODING WITH THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE
TUESDAY NIGHT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AND EXTEND
THE ADVISORY IF NEEDED.

A LARGE POUNDING SURF WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE BEACH EROSION AT LEAST
THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.

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.
