...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EDT TUESDAY...

THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EDT
TUESDAY. 

HIGH PRESSURE PUSHING DOWN FROM NEW ENGLAND AND LOWER PRESSURE
WELL OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST ARE KEEPING THE MARINE AREA IN A
STRONG NORTHEAST FLOW THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS HAS RESULTED IN TIDES
RUNNING AROUND 1.0 TO 1.5 FEET ABOVE NORMAL. THIS SURGE PLUS
RATHER HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES AROUND THE NEW MOON PRODUCED MINOR
TIDAL FLOODING AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE MONDAY NIGHT. A
SIMILAR SITUATION EXISTS TONIGHT AND SO THERE CAN BE MORE
WIDESPREAD MINOR FLOODING AROUND HIGH TIDE LATE THIS EVENING.
FLOODING COULD POSSIBLY APPROACH 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. HOWEVER...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.
