Coastal Flood Advisory Issued for New Jersey Counties Ahead of High Tide
1 Oct
Summary
- Coastal flood advisory issued for 3 New Jersey counties
- Up to 1 foot of flooding expected in low-lying areas
- Vulnerable roads along tidal waterways at risk of flooding
On October 2, 2025, the National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties in New Jersey. The advisory, which is in effect from 8 PM on October 2 until 1 AM on October 3, warns that up to 1 foot of inundation above ground level is expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
The weather service explains that at this level of flooding, the most vulnerable roads along tidal waterways will begin to flood, potentially leading to partial or full road closures. Residents are advised not to leave their vehicles in locations prone to tidal flooding and to avoid driving through floodwaters, as the depth may be greater than it appears, putting both people and vehicles at risk.
The coastal flood advisory comes as the region prepares for high tide, which is expected to exacerbate the flooding conditions. Residents in the affected areas are urged to take necessary precautions and monitor the situation closely as the high tide approaches.
