A coastal Flood Warning remains in effect until 8 am EDT Tuesday.

The onshore flow is expected to cause widespread minor tidal
flooding on the ocean front and the adjacent back bays around the
time of high tide overnight and Monday with moderate tidal
flooding along the southern New Jersey and Delaware coasts.

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:

a height of 7.0 feet above MLLW. The next 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 and is forecast to be 7.0 to 7.5 feet
above MLLW and 3:57 PM Tuesday with a height of 7.0 to 7.5 ft above
MLLW.

This type of storm is not common for the month of may, and can
cause inconveniences for commuters traveling to and from the
barrier islands during the times of high tide. Some heavy rain is
also going to be falling with strong winds adding to the stormy
conditions at the shore. The worst of the storm will be overnight
and Monday.

A coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent. Coastal
residents in the warned area should be alert for rising water, and
take appropriate action to protect life and property. Remember to
move your vehicle to higher ground at the times of high tide.





Wind Advisory
Statement as of 9:06 PM EDT on May 11, 2008


... Wind Advisory in effect from 4 am to 4 PM EDT Monday...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect from 4 am to 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
new low will intensify and move north with an increasing onshore
wind that will reach gusts of 35 to possibly 45 mph on Monday.
This wind, combined with the saturated ground's could bring down
some small trees and power lines.

The winds and the heavy rain will make driving conditions bad for
the morning rush hour. Drive carefully.

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph or higher are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
