A coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM EST
Thursday. A coastal Flood Watch remains in effect from Thursday
evening through Friday afternoon.

With high pressure to our north and low pressure to our south, a
strong and persistent northeast flow is expected along the coasts
of New Jersey and Delaware into the weekend. As a result, tidal
departures will increase. Minor tidal flooding is likely beginning
late tonight and moderate tidal flooding is now expected Thursday
night through Friday.

On Thursday and Friday, high tide on the New Jersey and Delaware
oceanfront occurs in the early morning hours between 300 am and
500 am and in the late afternoon between 315 PM and 515 PM. High
tide on the back bays and along Delaware Bay occurs a little later
than it does on the oceanfront.

Minor tidal flooding is expected for the high tide cycles early
on Thursday morning and late on Thursday afternoon. However, as
tidal departures increase some moderate tidal flooding is possible
during the high tide early on Friday morning. The extended period
of onshore winds will inhibit water from draining from the back
bays and moderate flooding may occur there also.

The potential for tidal flooding will continue into the early
part of the weekend.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for the
development of flooding. Pay close attention to statements, advisories
and warnings, and take action, if necessary.

Do not park your vehicle in a location that is prone to tidal
flooding. Also, avoid roadways that are prone to tidal flooding.

A coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.
