Good news for residents in New Castle County, Delaware, and Salem County, New Jersey – the Coastal Flood Advisory that was issued early this morning has officially expired as of 5:00 AM.
The National Weather Service Mount Holly issued the advisory at 3:52 AM, but quickly determined that high tide had already passed and water levels were decreasing across the affected coastal areas. The minor flooding threat that prompted the initial alert has now subsided.
While this particular advisory has ended, residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas should remain vigilant during future high tide cycles. Coastal flooding can develop quickly and create hazardous driving conditions, especially in areas with poor drainage.
The National Weather Service continues to monitor conditions along the Delaware Bay and coastal regions. No additional flooding is expected at this time, and normal tidal conditions are forecast to continue.
