Cold Weather Advisory issued January 31 at 2:08PM EST until February 1 at 10:00AM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ

Effective: Sat January 31, 2026, 7:08 PM
Expires: Sun February 1, 2026, 9:00 AM

* WHAT...Very cold wind chills as low as 7 below. * WHERE...Portions of central and northern Delaware, northeast Maryland, central and southern New Jersey, and southeast Pennsylvania. * WHEN...Until 10 AM EST Sunday. * IMPACTS...The cold wind chills as low as 5 below zero could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken. Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures.

Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills inside.


Coastal Flood Advisory issued January 31 at 3:14PM EST until February 1 at 12:00PM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ

Effective: Sat January 31, 2026, 8:14 PM
Expires: Sun February 1, 2026, 10:00 AM

* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Atlantic, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic and Southeastern Burlington. * WHEN...From 5 AM to noon EST Sunday. * IMPACTS...At this level, flooding begins on the most vulnerable roads in coastal and bayside communities, and along inland tidal waterways. Some partial or full road closures are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Minor coastal flooding may linger near the times of high tide through Monday. The highest water levels and greatest impacts are forecast to occur during the Sunday morning high tide, when isolated Moderate coastal flood impacts are possible along the back bays. Ice from the back bays could get pushed onshore during high tide, and flood waters could freeze on roadways, further complicating impacts.

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood. Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to costly repairs. Visit the National Water Prediction Service at https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/phi for additional water level and flood impact information for your local tide gauge.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
