...PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...

...STORM COULD AFFECT THE BARRIER ISLANDS LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...

THIS STATEMENT IS INTENDED TO INFORM RESIDENTS OF THE NEW JERSEY
AND DELAWARE COASTAL AREAS OF THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER STORM.

STORMS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH, OCTOBER 18TH, AND THE VETERANS DAY STORM 
BROUGHT GALE TO STORM FORCE WINDS, TIDAL FLOODING AND SEVERE BEACH 
EROSION TO THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE BEACHES. ANOTHER STORM IS 
POSSIBLE FROM LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY, BUT THIS IS NOT A 
NOR'EASTER. THIS STORM WILL PROBABLY MOVE FAST ENOUGH TO PREVENT A 
LARGE BUILDUP OF WATER IN THE BACK BAYS.

AFTER A COLD FRONT PASSES LATE TODAY, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER
THE REGION INTO WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, A STORM WILL BE GATHERING
STRENGTH ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST STATES AND INTENSIFY AS IT
MOVES NORTHEAST REMAINING WELL INLAND DURING THE THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

SEVERE BEACH EROSION OCCURRED ALONG THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COAST
ESPECIALLY DURING THE VETERANS DAY STORM. ADDITIONAL HEAVY WAVE ACTION
COULD RESULT IN EVEN MORE BEACH EROSION.

THERE IS A FULL MOON WEDNESDAY MORNING WHICH MEANS THE ASTRONOMICAL
TIDES WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN USUAL. HOWEVER, A PERIOD OF STRONG
ONSHORE WINDS WOULD CAUSE THE TIDE TO DEPART EVEN HIGHER AND
RESULT IN SOME TIDAL FLOODING. WAVES GENERATED BY THE GALE FORCE
SOUTHERLY WINDS COULD RESULT IN WAVES BREAKING ON THE BEACH BETWEEN
SEVEN AND EIGHT FEET.

THE AREAS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE STRONG WINDS AND HIGHER WAVES 
WOULD BE THE OCEAN FRONT OF SUSSEX COUNTY, DELAWARE, ON THE JERSEY 
SIDE OF THE DELAWARE BAY IN CUMBERLAND AND CAPE MAY COUNTIES, AND 
THE ATLANTIC COAST BARRIER ISLANDS OF CAPE MAY, ATLANTIC, OCEAN AND 
MONMOUTH COUNTIES.

AS YOU ARE WELL AWARE, STORMS DO CHANGE TRACK, SO WE ARE ASKING THAT 
YOU CONTINUE TO CHECK THE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS FOR 
ANY CHANGES.
