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
