...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 IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FAST ENOUGH TO PREVENT A
LARGE BUILDUP OF WATER IN THE BACK BAYS.

FOLLOWING THIS AFTERNOONS FRONTAL PASSAGE, HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD OVER THE REGION TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, A STORM
WILL BE GATHERING STRENGTH ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST 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 COASTS,
ESPECIALLY DURING THE VETERANS DAY STORM. ADDITIONAL HEAVY WAVE ACTION
COULD RESULT IN EVEN MORE BEACH EROSION LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY
MORNING.

THE FULL MOON WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL MEAN THAT 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 MINOR TIDAL FLOODING, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE
TIME OF HIGH TIDE THURSDAY MORNING. WAVES GENERATED BY GALE FORCE
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS COULD RESULT IN WAVES BREAKING ON THE
BEACH BETWEEN SIX 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 NEW JERSEY ATLANTIC COAST BARRIER ISLANDS OF CAPE MAY,
ATLANTIC, OCEAN AND MONMOUTH COUNTIES.

THIS STORM WILL BE A FAST MOVER WITH ANY POSSIBLE FLOODING
OCCURRING MAINLY DURING THE THURSDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE.

KEEP UP TO DATE AS THE EVENT GETS CLOSER FOR ANY POSSIBLE
ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS BY CHECKING THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
WEBSITE OR LISTENING TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS.
