NEXT FEW TIDE CYCLES.

FARTHER NORTH UP THE BAY...ANOMALIES ARE STILL FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT
ALONG THE WEST SHORE ACROSS THE MIDDLE PENINSULA/NRN NECK...WELL
INTO MODERATE FLOODING WITH BORDERLINE SEVERE LEVELS THE FARTHER
SOUTH YOU GO. ALONG THE BAYSIDE OF THE EAST SHORE...ANOMALIES ARE
MUCH LOWER (PROBABLY DUE TO PARTIAL OFFSHORE FLOW OF THE NE WINDS).
HOWEVER...HAVE SEEN CAMBRIDGE SHOW THIS TYPICAL LAG TIME...OFTEN BY
A DAY OR MORE AND HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THE WARNING UP THROUGH SAT
AFTN HIGH TIDE CYCLES WHEN MUCH LIGHTER N WINDS SHOULD ENABLE HIGHER
WATER LEVELS TO MOVE TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE BAY. ELSEWHERE
EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH A DIMINISHED THREAT OF FLOODING
AFTER SAT MRNG.
