| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The very persistent and strong to damaging northwest winds that started overnight on the 14th caused blowout tide conditions on the Delaware River and tidal sections of its tributaries during the three subsequent low tide cycles from the early morning of the 15th through the morning of the 16th. The lowest tides occurred during the low tide cycle during the late afternoon and early evening on the 15th. In Philadelphia, this was the lowest tide to occur since the days following the storm of the century in March of 1993. In Marcus Hook (Delaware County), the lowest tide was 3.30 feet below mean lower low water. In Philadelphia, the lowest tide reached 3.42 feet below mean lower low water. On Newbold Island (Bucks County), the lowest tide reached 3.44 feet below mean lower low water. Blowout tide conditions start at 1.80 feet below mean lower low water. As the arctic high pressure system arrived over the region during the afternoon of the 16th, the strong northwest flow ceased and subsequent low tide cycles were closer to normal and remained above blowout tide conditions. |
