Coastal Flood Advisories Prompt Preparedness in Northeastern and Southeastern US
A series of coastal flood advisories have been issued for various regions in the northeastern and southeastern United States as communities prepare for potential flooding this week.
In Cumberland County, New Jersey, the National Weather Service announced a coastal flood advisory effective from Thursday at 4 a.m. until Friday at noon. The advisory indicates that low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways could see inundation of up to one foot. Officials warn of possible road closures, emphasizing the need for caution and time allowance for travel.
Along the Virginia-North Carolina coast, significant rainfall is expected to hit Hampton Roads and the Outer Banks. The advisory extends from early Thursday through Friday morning. Forecasts predict rainfall totals of 1-2 inches, with tidal flooding anticipated during high tide cycles. Motorists are cautioned to expect road closures and potential property damage in low-lying areas.
Suffolk County, New York, is also under a coastal flood advisory for Thursday morning. The region may experience water levels rising by up to one foot in vulnerable areas, with minor flooding projected during the Friday high tide cycle. Residents are urged to prepare for possible road difficulties.
Lastly, updates from Georgia indicate a coastal flood advisory for counties including Bryan and Chatham, expiring Wednesday morning, as conditions improve following high tide.
As flooding risks increase in coastal and flood-prone areas, local authorities stress the importance of safety measures. Residents should seek higher ground, adhere to evacuation orders, and avoid traveling through floodwaters. The National Weather Service continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates as conditions develop.
