Coastal Flood Advisory issued January 31 at 2:02AM EST until February 1 at 12:00PM EST by NWS Mount Holly NJ
Effective: Sat January 31, 2026, 2:02 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, and Southeastern Burlington Counties. * 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.
