This will impact the peak times for commuting again this evening.
Please do not park your car in the vulnerable flood areas adjacent

The following are times of high tide and water level forecasts...
referenced to mean lower low water... for points along the

Wind Advisory Statement as of 10:25 am EDT on May 12, 2008

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until 4 PM EDT this
afternoon...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 4 PM EDT this afternoon.

Strong low pressure organizing southeast of the Delmarva
Peninsula will strengthen a bit more and then lift northeast
today. Wind wind gusts in excess of 45 mph have occurred and are
expected to continue as the low strengthens and then lifts
northeast. Winds of this strength could bring down some trees and
some power lines... especially in any areas where the ground is
saturated.

The Wind Advisory might need to be extended later into this
afternoon and into early this evening along coastal areas pending
on how quickly this low pressure system moves offshore.

A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts in excess of 45 mph are
expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult...
especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
