SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Hurricane Henri is approximately 280 miles south southeast of Atlantic
City. Henri will track to the north-northeast along the Eastern
Seaboard through tonight. Henri is expected to make landfall on Long
Island or southern New England on Sunday.

The main threat with this system is heavy rain leading to flash
flooding across much of the region. Tropical storm force winds are
possible in portions of east-central New Jersey. With a full moon this
weekend, minor coastal flooding is also expected, primarily with the
high tide this evening along the New Jersey Coast. Minor coastal
flooding may linger with the Sunday evening high tide.

Dangerous marine conditions will develop over the northern Atlantic
Waters with strong winds, rough seas, and dangerous rip currents. Seas
will build to six to ten feet. A high risk for rip currents is
expected to continue through at least Sunday for the New Jersey and
Delaware coasts.
