...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EDT THIS
MORNING...

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EDT THIS
MORNING. 

HIGH PRESSURE PUSHING DOWN FROM NEW ENGLAND AND LOWER PRESSURE
WELL OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST HAVE PRODUCED STRONG ONSHORE
WINDS WHICH HAVE PUSHED TIDAL DEPARTURES TO BETWEEN 1 AND
1 1/2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL. THIS SURGE PLUS RATHER HIGH ASTRONOMICAL
TIDES AROUND THE NEW MOON WILL PRODUCE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE THIS MORNING.

TIDAL DEPARTURES ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER AFTER THE MORNING'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 WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AND EXTEND THE ADVISORY IF
NEEDED.

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. EXPECT SOME ROADWAYS THAT
ARE PRONE TO MINOR TIDAL FLOODING ALONG OR NEAR THE CHESAPEAKE
BAY TO BE CLOSED AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDES.
