A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect tonight for several areas across Delmarva, with minor tidal flooding expected to impact low-lying communities beginning this evening.
The National Weather Service has issued the advisory for Kent County, Inland Sussex County, and the Delaware Beaches, running from 7 o’clock tonight through 1 o’clock Monday morning.
Residents can expect up to one foot of water above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. The flooding could trigger partial or full road closures on the most vulnerable coastal, bayside, and inland tidal roadways.
Authorities are urging drivers to use extreme caution. Do not drive through flooded roads — the water may be deeper than it appears and could put you in serious danger. You should also avoid leaving your vehicle parked in areas known to flood during high tide events.
If you need to monitor water levels near a local tide gauge, the National Water Prediction Service has up-to-date information available at water.noaa.gov.
This advisory remains in effect until 1:00 a.m. Monday morning. TV Delmarva will continue to monitor conditions and bring you the latest updates throughout the evening.
