The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for the Cape May County shore towns from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday.
Strong and gusty north winds combined with an exceptionally high tide from a recent full moon will cause “minor” coastal flooding conditions on Thursday morning.
Additional minor coastal flooding is forecast with the morning high tides into the weekend. More significant tidal flooding is possible later this weekend and into next week, according to the Cape May County Office of Emergency Management.
Residents should be prepared to monitor conditions and to move vehicles to safe places well in advance of high tide.
For your safety and the protection of your vehicle and neighboring properties, never drive on any street covered by water. Please do not disregard barricades on flooded streets.
For Police and Fire Department emergencies, call 911. For non-emergencies, call the local police department.
