This product covers New Jersey... Delaware... southeastern Pennsylvania and northeast Maryland    **tropical storm watches have been cancelled for coastal portions of   Delaware and new jersey**     New information  ---------------    * changes to watches and warnings:      - all watches and warnings have been canceled    * current watches and warnings:      - none    * storm information:      - about 360 miles south-southeast of Atlantic City NJ or about         380 miles southeast of Dover de      - 34.8n 71.1w      - storm intensity 75 mph      - movement north or 360 degrees at 10 mph    Situation overview  ------------------    Hurricane Jose was located approximately 250 miles east of Cape   Hatteras, North Carolina, moving northward at 10 mph this afternoon. A  continued northward movement is expected with the hurricane through   Tuesday. Jose is then forecast to turn more to the northeast and weaken  to a tropical storm Tuesday night into Wednesday. This latest forecast  track keeps the center of Jose more than 200 miles off the northern   mid-Atlantic coast at its closest point to the forecast area Tuesday   afternoon through Wednesday morning, which is far enough offshore to   spare the region from seeing the worst of the winds, heavy rain and   storm surge.    The tropical storm watch has been cancelled for all of coastal New  Jersey and Delaware but remain in effect for their adjacent coastal   waters. Sustained tropical storm-force winds are no longer expected to   occur over land. It will still be breezy at the coast on Tuesday with   north to northeast winds 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 40 mph.     Minor to moderate coastal flooding is still expected to occur through  at least Wednesday morning. A storm surge of 1 to 2 feet above ground  level can be expected at times of high tide. There is a potential for  locally higher storm surge between 2 and 3 feet above ground level to  produce moderate coastal flooding for the ocean front and back bays  communities at high tide Tuesday evening. A coastal Flood Watch has  been issued for these areas.    The threat of flooding from Jose has decreased across the area with  the axis for heavy rain shifting to our east.    Regardless of the track, hazardous seas and dangerous surf, including  a high risk for the formation of life threatening rip currents, will  still occur through most the week. Moderate beach erosion is also  expected, especially Tuesday and Tuesday evening when both winds and   waves ramp up.    Potential impacts  -----------------    * surge:  prepare for locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts  across coastal locales in Delaware and New Jersey. Potential impacts   in this area include:      - localized inundation is possible with storm surge flooding         mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in         areas farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.      - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots could become        overspread with surge water. Dangerous driving conditions are        possible in places where surge water covers the Road.      - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,         and piers is possible. A few small craft may be broken away         from moorings.    * Other coastal hazards:  hazardous seas and dangerous surf is expected ahead of and with the  passage of Jose. Moderate beach erosion is expected with the heavy surf  also breaching dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. There is  a high risk for life-threatening rip currents.     * Wind:  little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across New Jersey   and Delaware.    Precautionary/preparedness actions  ----------------------------------    When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the   exact forecast track as there are inherent forecast uncertainties   which must be taken into account.    If you live in a place particularly vulnerable to flooding, such as   near the ocean, in a low lying or poor drainage area, in a valley, or   near an already swollen river, plan to move to safe shelter on higher   ground.    Always heed the advice of local officials and comply with any orders   that are issued. Do not needlessly jeopardize your life or the lives   of others.    Closely monitor NOAA Weather Radio or other local news outlets for   official storm information. Listen for possible changes to the   forecast.    * Additional sources of information:  - for information on appropriate preparations see ready.Gov  - for information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.Org  - for additional disaster preparedness information see Redcross.Org    Next update  -----------    As it pertains to this event... this will be the last local statement   issued by the National Weather Service in Mount Holly NJ regarding   the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.    

This product covers New Jersey... Delaware... southeastern Pennsylvania and northeast Maryland    **tropical storm watch remains in effect for coastal portions of   Delaware and new jersey**       New information  ---------------    * changes to watches and warnings:      - none    * current watches and warnings:      - a tropical storm watch is in effect for Atlantic, Atlantic         coastal Cape May, Cape May, coastal Atlantic, coastal ocean,         Delaware beaches, eastern Monmouth, inland Sussex, ocean,         southeastern Burlington, and western Monmouth    * storm information:      - about 470 miles south-southeast of Atlantic City NJ or about         480 miles south-southeast of Dover de      - 33.0n 71.4w      - storm intensity 85 mph      - movement north or 360 degrees at 9 mph    Situation overview  ------------------    Hurricane Jose is currently located approximately 280 miles east-   southeast of Cape Hatteras North Carolina and will track to the north   over the western Atlantic Ocean waters, east of the East Coast of the   United States, this week. Jose will pass off the Delaware and New   Jersey coasts on Tuesday before curving to the northeast and weakening   to a tropical storm on Tuesday night and Wednesday.    The tropical storm watch continues for locations near and just   inland from the coast over Delaware and New Jersey, including the   adjacent coastal waters and the lower Delaware Bay. Tropical storm   force winds are expected to arrive in Delaware and southern New   Jersey Tuesday morning, and then along the coasts in central and   northern New Jersey Tuesday afternoon. The strongest winds are   expected to be confined to to the coast and adjacent waters, with   less windy conditions just inland as well. The strongest winds   should occur Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening, and then the   winds should fall below tropical storm force by early Wednesday   morning.     Coastal flooding will pose a risk to both life and property for the   high tide cycles Tuesday, and Tuesday night. In particular,   widespread moderate coastal flooding is possible for the ocean   front, back bays, and Delaware Bay with the late Tuesday afternoon   and Tuesday night high tide cycle.    Heavy rain is possible Tuesday afternoon and evening, and could   result in freshwater flooding, mainly for coastal New Jersey.   Between 1 and 2 inches of rain is forecast for eastern New Jersey   from Monday night through Wednesday, but locally heavier amounts are   possible, especially Tuesday evening. There is also the potential   for the storm to shift a bit farther west, and this would bring   heavier rain into much of New Jersey as well. If the heavier rain   falls at the time of high tide, it could worsen the coastal flooding   issues.     Hazardous seas and dangerous surf resulting in a high risk for the   formation of dangerous and life threatening rip currents are   expected this week. Significant beach erosion is also expected for   much of this week.    Potential impacts  -----------------    * surge:  prepare for locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts  across coastal portions of Delaware and New Jersey, including the ocean  front, back bays, and lower Delaware Bay. Potential impacts in this   area include:      - localized inundation is possible with storm surge flooding         mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in         areas farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.      - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots could become         overspread with surge water. Dangerous driving conditions are         possible in places where surge water covers the Road.      - Moderate beach erosion is expected. Heavy surf also breaching         dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip         currents are anticipated.      - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,         and piers is possible. A few small craft may be broken away         from moorings.    * Wind:  prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across New  Jersey, Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania and eastern Maryland.   Potential impacts include:      - damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored         Mobile homes is possible. Unsecured lightweight objects could         be blown around.      - Many large tree limbs may be broken off. A few trees could be         snapped or uprooted. Some fences and roadway signs may be blown         over.      - A few roads could be impassable from debris. Hazardous driving         conditions are possible on bridges and other elevated roadways.      - Scattered power and communications outages are possible.    * Flooding rain:  prepare for locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible limited  impacts across across northern and eastern New Jersey. Potential   impacts include:      - localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations.      - Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter currents.         Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may become swollen         and overflow in spots.      - Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in         vulnerable spots. Rapid ponding of water may occur at         underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage areas. Several         storm drains and retention ponds become near-full and begin to         overflow. Some brief Road and bridge closures are possible.     Elsewhere across New Jersey... Delaware... southeastern Pennsylvania   and northeast Maryland, little to no impact is anticipated.    * Other coastal hazards:  hazardous seas and dangerous surf is expected ahead of and with the  passage of Jose. This results in the formation of dangerous and lift  threatening rip currents. Significant beach erosion also expected.    Precautionary/preparedness actions  ----------------------------------    Now is the time to check your emergency plan and take necessary   actions to secure your home or business. Deliberate efforts should be   underway to protect life and property. Ensure that your emergency   supplies kit is stocked and ready.    When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the   exact forecast track as there are inherent forecast uncertainties   which must be taken into account.    If you live in a place particularly vulnerable to flooding, such as   near the ocean, in a low lying or poor drainage area, in a valley, or   near an already swollen river, plan to move to safe shelter on higher   ground.    Always heed the advice of local officials and comply with any orders   that are issued. Do not needlessly jeopardize your life or the lives   of others.    When securing your property, outside preparations should be conducted   as soon as possible before conditions deteriorate. The onset of   strong gusty winds and heavy rain can cause certain preparedness   activities to become unsafe.    Visitors to the area should become familiar with nearby surroundings.   If you are a visitor, know the name of the County in which you are   located and where it is relative to current watches and warnings. If   staying at a hotel, ask the management staff about their onsite   disaster plan. Listen for evacuation orders, especially pertaining to   area visitors.    Closely monitor NOAA Weather Radio or other local news outlets for   official storm information. Listen for possible changes to the   forecast.      * Additional sources of information:  - for information on appropriate preparations see ready.Gov  - for information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.Org  - for additional disaster preparedness information see Redcross.Org    Next update  -----------    The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather   Service in Mount Holly NJ around 12 PM EDT, or sooner if conditions   warrant.
