Coastal Flood Advisory issued March 16 at 3:15PM EDT until March 17 at 2:00AM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ

Expires: Tue March 17, 2026, 2:00 AM

* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Ocean and Coastal Ocean. * WHEN...Until 2 AM EDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...South winds will continue to increase this evening, preventing water from draining out of Barnegat Bay at low tide. The elevated water levels may lead to areas of minor tidal flooding impacts, especially along the northern end of Barnegat Bay near Mantoloking.

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.
