A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 5 PM EST this afternoon for Kent, Inland Sussex, and Delaware Beaches. Up to one half foot of inundation above ground level is expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. This may lead to flooding on vulnerable roads in coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal waterways, possibly resulting in partial or full road closures.
Minor tidal flooding could persist into the high tide cycle tonight, especially along the back bays. It’s important to avoid leaving vehicles in flood-prone areas and driving through floodwaters to prevent danger and vehicle damage. For additional water level and flood impact information, visit the National Water Prediction Service website.
Total tides are approximate to the nearest hour for the Murderkill River at Bowers Beach and Delaware Bay at Lewes. The forecast includes information on minor, moderate, and major tide categories, as well as departure from normal levels, impact, and tide levels for different days and times.
