Coastal Flood Warning Statement as of 3:34 PM EDT on May 11, 2008

... Coastal Flood Warning in effect from midnight tonight to 8 am
EDT Tuesday...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a coastal
Flood Warning... which is in effect from midnight tonight to 8 am
EDT Tuesday. The coastal flood advisory is no longer in effect.
The coastal Flood Watch is no longer in effect.

The onshore flow is expected to cause widespread but mainly minor
tidal flooding on the ocean front and the adjacent back bays
around the time of high tide tonight... which ranges from about
1:30 am to about 3:30 am... and runs an hour or two later on the
back bays.

As the flow becomes northeast and strengthens Monday and
continues Monday night... areas of moderate tidal flooding could
occur. High tide Monday afternoon is from about 2:00 PM to about
4:00 PM... again an hour or two later on the back bays. High tide
early Tuesday morning is from about 2:30 am to about 4:30 am... an
hour or two later on the back bays.

The following are times of high tide and water level forecasts,
referenced to mean lower low water, for points along the New
Jersey and Delaware ocean front:

For Sandy Hook New Jersey... high tide is at 3:00 PM Monday and
is forecast to be 7.5 to 8.0 feet above MLLW. High tide is again
at 3:12 am Tuesday morning and is forecast at 7.0 to 7.5 feet

barrier islands during the times of high tide. Heavy rain is also
going to be falling with gale force winds adding to the stormy
conditions at the shore. The worst of the storm will be during the

residents in the warned area should be alert for rising water... and
take appropriate action to protect life and property. Remember to

... Wind Advisory in effect until 4 PM EDT Monday...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect until 4 PM EDT Monday.

Low pressure over the Ohio Valley will weaken as a secondary low
forms over the Virginia and North Carolina border overnight. The

wind that will reach gusts of 35 to possibly 45 mph on Monday.

some small trees and power lines.

this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
