Forecasters expect up to one foot of water above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.\n\nLocally, Kent County, inland Sussex County, and Delaware&#8217;s beaches are under the advisory. The flooding will also impact parts of New Jersey, including Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, and Monmouth counties.\n\nOfficials warn that the most vulnerable coastal and bayside roads will likely flood first, with some partial or full road closures possible. Inland tidal waterways are also at risk.\n\nAuthorities urge drivers to avoid parking in flood-prone areas and never attempt to drive through standing water. &#8220;The water may be deeper than you think,&#8221; weather service officials caution, noting the risk of vehicle damage and personal danger.\n\nWhile this is considered minor flooding, residents should stay alert for changing conditions and avoid unnecessary travel in affected coastal areas during the advisory period.\n\nThe advisory expires at 2 AM Sunday morning.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 8 PM tonight through 2 AM Sunday for Delaware beaches and surrounding areas, with up to one foot of flooding expected in low-lying coastal areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":54065,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776506813061.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbtNqq-e42","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":54540,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/coastal-flood-advisory-in-effect-tonight-for-delmarva-beaches-and-tidal-areas\/","url_meta":{"origin":54066,"position":0},"title":"Coastal Flood Advisory in Effect Tonight for Delmarva Beaches and Tidal Areas","author":"Admin","date":"April 19, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Minor coastal flooding expected tonight from 9 PM to 3 AM Monday across Delaware beaches and tidal areas, with up to six inches of water possible in low-lying locations.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776631888583.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776631888583.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776631888583.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776631888583.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/news-1776631888583.jpg?fit=1200%2C630&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":81208,"url":"https:\/\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/coastal-flood-advisory-in-effect-tonight-for-delmarva-shorelines-and-tidal-waterways\/","url_meta":{"origin":54066,"position":1},"title":"Coastal Flood Advisory in Effect Tonight for Delmarva Shorelines and Tidal Waterways","author":"Admin","date":"June 13, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect until midnight tonight for parts of Delaware and southern New Jersey, with up to one foot of flooding expected near shorelines and tidal waterways.
