A LOW WATER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST THIS
AFTERNOON. 

STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WERE CAUSING BLOWOUT TIDES, WITH WATER
LEVELS AROUND 2 FEET BELOW NORMAL AT TIMES SUNDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH
WATER LEVELS MAY NOT BE QUITE THAT LOW THIS MORNING, THEY WILL
STILL BE AROUND 1.5 FEET BELOW NORMAL. COMBINED WITH THE NORMAL
ASTRONOMICAL LOW TIDES AROUND OR SLIGHTLY BELOW ZERO MEAN LOWER
LOW WATER, WATER LEVELS UP TO AROUND MINUS 2.0 FEET MEAN LOWER LOW
WATER ARE ANTICIPATED AROUND THE TIMES OF LOW TIDE THIS MORNING.

LOW TIDE ALONG THE OCEAN FRONT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AROUND 700 AM
EARLY THIS MORNING, BUT LOW TIDE ALONG THE BACK BAYS AND UP
DELAWARE BAY WILL BE UP TO A FEW HOURS LATER.

THESE LOW TIDES COULD CAUSE SOME NAVIGATION PROBLEMS...ESPECIALLY
AROUND INLETS, IN BAYS AND ESTUARIES, AND OTHER SHALLOW SPOTS.

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.
