According to a recent update from Frank McCall, Director of the Cape May County Emergency Management Office, Hurricane Bill has weakened slightly but is still tracking northwest several hundred miles off the Atlantic Coast. Large swells generated by this storm will likely cause extremely dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents.
Heavy rain with slow moving thunderstorms could come at the time of high tide. Ocean side high tides are at 9:00 PM Friday, 10:00 AM Saturday, 10:15 PM Saturday, and 10:45 AM Sunday. Back bay high tides are approximately one (1) to two (2) hours later. Minor tidal flooding is projected Friday through Sunday. Water in the streets could be slow to drain. Heavy surf can cause beach erosion. Move vehicles and equipment to high grounds and out of harms way.
