| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The very persistent and strong to damaging northwest winds that started overnight on the 14th caused blowout tide conditions during the three subsequent low tide cycles from the early morning of the 15th through the morning of the 16th on the tidal Delaware River and tidal sections of its tributaries. Blowout tides also occurred on the Upper Delaware Bay during the early morning and afternoon low tide cycles on the 15th. The lowest tides occurred during the low tide cycle during the afternoon and early evening on the 15th. At Ship John Shoal Light in upper Delaware Bay, the lowest tide was 2.21 feet below mean lower low water. At Reedy Point (New Castle County), the lowest tide was 2.89 feet below mean lower low water. At Delaware City (New Castle County), the lowest tide reached 3.10 feet below mean lower low water. 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. In Burlington City (Burlington County), the lowest tide reached 3.50 feet below mean lower low water. On Newbold Island (Bucks County), the lowest tide reached 3.44 feet below mean lower low water. The early evening low tide on the 15th in Philadelphia was the lowest since March of 1993. Blowout tide conditions start at 1.80 feet below mean lower low water. Blowout tide conditions were not observed in lower Delaware Bay, Raritan Bay or on the ocean front. 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. |
