THE FORMAT OF COASTAL FLOOD WATCHES AND COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS
THAT ARE ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY,
NEW JERSEY IS CHANGING. THE SPECIFIC WATER LEVEL FORECASTS WILL
APPEAR IN A TABLE AT THE END OF THE PRODUCT RATHER THAN WITHIN THE

EASIER TO READ.

THE CHANGE WILL AFFECT THE CONTENT OF COASTAL FLOOD WATCHES AND
COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS BROADCAST ON NOAA WEATHER ALL-HAZARDS

EXPECTED IMPACTS OF THE COASTAL FLOODING, WILL CONTINUE TO BE
BROADCAST. NOAA WEATHER ALL- HAZARDS RADIO LISTENERS CAN EASILY
ACCESS THE SPECIFIC WATER LEVEL FORECASTS IN OUR COASTAL FLOOD
WATCH AND WARNING PRODUCTS ON OUR WEB SITE AT WEATHER.GOV/PHI.
