VERY LOW TIDES EXPECTED ON THE DELAWARE RIVER FROM NOON TODAY TO
4 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON

A STRONG NORTHWEST WIND WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH WATER OUT OF THE TIDAL 
PORTION OF THE DELAWARE RIVER AND OUT OF THE UPPER PART OF DELAWARE 
BAY TODAY. AS A RESULT, LOW WATER LEVELS WILL PERSIST. THE LOW WATER 
LEVELS MAY CAUSE SOME NAVIGATION PROBLEMS AROUND THE TIME OF LOW
TIDE THIS AFTERNOON.

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

THE WIND IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH LATE TODAY AND WATER LEVELS SHOULD 
BEGIN TO RECOVER BY THE TIME OF TONIGHT'S LOW TIDE.
