THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A LOW

INCREASING WEST WINDS WILL CAUSE WATER LEVELS TO DROP ON AREA

WATER LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND 2.0 FEET BELOW MEAN
LOWER LOW WATER AROUND THE TIME OF LOW TIDE FROM LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY FRIDAY EVENING. THE SECOND LOW TIDE ON FRIDAY 
WILL OCCUR FROM AROUND 4 PM IN UPPER DELAWARE BAY TO AROUND 6 PM

A LOW WATER ADVISORY MEANS WATER LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW AVERAGE. MARINERS SHOULD USE EXTREME CAUTION
AND TRANSIT AT THE SLOWEST SAFE NAVIGABLE SPEED TO MINIMIZE
IMPACT.
