The flooding will primarily impact the most vulnerable roads along tidal areas, with some partial or full road closures possible.\n\nOfficials are urging drivers to avoid parking vehicles in flood-prone locations and never attempt to drive through flood waters. &#8220;The water may be deeper than you think it is,&#8221; warns the Weather Service, noting that motorists could face danger and costly vehicle damage.\n\nThis minor tidal flooding event is expected to affect typical trouble spots where high tides regularly cause problems. Local authorities will monitor conditions throughout the night and may implement road closures as needed.\n\nThe advisory expires at 3 AM Sunday morning. Residents can check current water levels and flood information at the National Water Prediction Service website. Stay tuned to TV Delmarva for updates on road conditions and weather developments.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 11 PM tonight to 3 AM Sunday
