A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect for parts of Delmarva until 3:00 AM Monday morning, with minor tidal flooding expected across low-lying coastal areas.
The National Weather Service warns that up to six inches of water could inundate roads and properties near shorelines and tidal waterways. In Delaware, Kent County, Inland Sussex, and Delaware Beaches are under the advisory, along with several New Jersey counties including Cumberland, Atlantic, and Cape May.
The flooding is expected to impact the most vulnerable roadways in coastal and bayside communities, with some partial or full road closures possible. Drivers should avoid leaving vehicles in flood-prone areas and never attempt to drive through standing water.
“The water may be deeper than you think,” officials warn, noting that driving through flood waters can cause costly vehicle damage and put lives at risk.
Residents can monitor local water levels and flood impacts by visiting the National Water Prediction Service website at water.noaa.gov.
The advisory expires at 3:00 AM Monday. TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as needed throughout the overnight hours.
