A Coastal Flood Advisory for portions of the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas is set to expire at midnight tonight, but forecasters warn the relief may be short-lived.
The National Weather Service out of Mount Holly, New Jersey issued the advisory expiration notice at 11:52 Friday night, confirming that tidal waters have receded across the affected areas. Those areas include Kent and Sussex Counties in Delaware, the Delaware Beaches, Cumberland and Atlantic Counties in New Jersey, and Cape May County, including the Atlantic Coastal Cape May zone.
While the immediate threat is easing, forecasters say a new Coastal Flood Advisory will likely be issued in the coming hours ahead of Sunday night’s high tide cycle. Residents and businesses in low-lying coastal areas should remain vigilant and be prepared for the possibility of renewed minor flooding by Sunday evening.
Authorities recommend that those living near tidal waterways and low-lying coastal areas monitor updated forecasts closely throughout the weekend. Move vehicles and valuables to higher ground if flooding is anticipated in your area, and avoid driving through any standing or moving water on roadways.
