UPDATE: A coastal flood advisory has just been issued for Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington Counties in New Jersey, effective from October 15, 2023, at 2 p.m. until October 16, 2023, at 11 p.m. The National Weather Service warns residents to prepare for up to one foot of flooding in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
Authorities report that vulnerable roads along tidal waterways could see significant flooding. “At this level, flooding begins on the most vulnerable roads,” the weather service states. “Some partial or full road closures are possible.” Residents are urged to avoid leaving vehicles in areas prone to tidal flooding, as driving through flood waters can pose serious risks.
This advisory indicates that minor tidal flooding is likely, which often leads to road closures and potential hazards. The weather service emphasizes that the water may be deeper than it appears, creating dangers for both vehicles and individuals.
As the advisory period approaches, it is crucial for residents to stay informed about weather updates and road conditions. Prepare for potential disruptions and ensure safety by avoiding flooded areas.
Stay tuned for further updates from the National Weather Service as this situation develops.
