...LOW WATER LEVELS EXPECTED ON THE TIDAL DELAWARE RIVER AND ITS 
   TRIBUTARIES...

STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL CAUSE WATER LEVELS ON THE TIDAL SECTIONS 
OF THE DELAWARE RIVER AND ITS TRIBUTARIES TO DROP OVERNIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. THE NORMAL ASTRONOMICAL LOW TIDES ARE
AROUND ZERO MEAN LOWER LOW WATER, AND THIS COMBINED WITH THE
STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS, WILL BRING WATER LEVELS DOWN TO AROUND
MINUS 2.0 FEET MEAN LOWER LOW WATER AROUND THE TIMES OF LOW TIDE.

THESE LOW TIDES COULD CAUSE SOME NAVIGATION PROBLEMS.

MARINERS ARE URGED TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS FOR LOW
WATER LEVELS. MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH SLACK IN LINES TO ALLOW
FOR LOW WATER, AND WATCH OUT FOR SHALLOWER DRAFTS.
