11 Oct
Summary
- Coastal flood advisory issued for Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties
- Up to 1 foot of flooding expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and waterways
- Vulnerable roads along tidal waterways may experience partial or full closures
On Saturday, October 7th, the National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties in New Jersey. The advisory is valid from Sunday, October 8th at 2 p.m. until Monday, October 9th at 11 p.m.
According to the weather service, up to 1 foot of inundation above ground level is expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. This level of flooding is expected to begin affecting the most vulnerable roads along tidal waterways, potentially leading to some partial or full road closures.
The weather service has cautioned residents to avoid leaving their vehicles in locations prone to tidal flooding and to never drive through flood waters, as the depth may be greater than it appears, putting both the driver and the vehicle at risk of damage.
