Good news for residents along the Delmarva coastline — water levels have dropped and the Coastal Flood Advisory for Kent County, Inland Sussex County, and the Delaware Beaches has expired as of late Saturday night.
The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey issued the expiration notice just before 11 o’clock Saturday night, confirming that tides have receded and water levels have fallen below flood stage.
However, forecasters are urging residents not to let their guard down just yet. The National Weather Service says additional advisories could be issued later tonight ahead of Sunday evening’s high tide cycle. Coastal communities along the Delaware Beaches and surrounding areas should continue to monitor conditions closely.
If a new advisory is issued, residents in low-lying areas near tidal waterways should avoid flood-prone roads and move vehicles and valuables to higher ground as a precaution. Never attempt to drive through flooded roadways — even shallow water can be deceptively dangerous.
TV Delmarva will continue to monitor conditions throughout the overnight hours and into Sunday. Stay with us on-air and online for the latest updates from the National Weather Service as soon as they become available.
