The National Weather Service office out of Mount Holly, New Jersey has put a Coastal Flood Advisory into effect for the area, running from the evening of June 17 through 4:00 AM Eastern time on June 18.
The advisory, which was issued at 4:51 PM Eastern time on June 17, signals that minor coastal flooding is possible during this timeframe. Residents who live in low-lying areas near the coast should take precautions and remain alert to changing water conditions overnight.
Coastal flood advisories are typically issued when water levels are expected to rise enough to cause minor flooding in vulnerable areas, such as low-lying roads, parking lots, and properties near the shoreline. While this level of advisory does not indicate a severe threat, it does warrant attention from those living or traveling near coastal zones.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service and avoid any flood-prone areas during the advisory period.
