National Weather Service Issues Coastal Flood Warning for Friday, May 10th
The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Warning for Avalon. The Warning is in effect for Friday, May 10th, at 8:00pm until Saturday, May 11th, at 4:00am. Moderate tidal flooding is possible at time of high tide. There are two high tides of concern. The first is Thursday, May 9th, at 9:57pm and the second is Friday, May 10th, at 10:44pm. The tides will be running high due to the phase of the new moon that occurred on May 8th and driven by easterly to north easterly winds Thursday night through Friday night.
Never attempt to drive on any street that is flooded. Please be advised if you are arriving Friday evening for Mother’s Day weekend, there may be minor to moderate tidal flooding on some streets during Friday night’s high tide, well past sunset. Avalon has prepared a flood risk map that indicates where tidal flooding may occur.
Here is the statement regarding the Coastal Flood Warning from the National Weather Service:
Coastal Hazard Message
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
447 PM EDT Thu May 9 2024
…COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM FRIDAY TO 4 AM EDT
SATURDAY…
* WHAT…For the Coastal Flood Warning,
one to two feet of inundation above ground level expected in
low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
* WHERE…In Delaware, Inland Sussex and Delaware Beaches. In
New Jersey, Cape May and Atlantic Coastal Cape May.
* WHEN…For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 8 PM
Friday to 4 AM EDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS…At the moderate coastal flood level, widespread
roadway flooding occurs in coastal and bayside communities and
along inland tidal waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some
damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Increasing onshore flow during the day on
Friday combined with the higher astronomical tides will increase
the potential for moderate coastal flooding with the Friday
night high tide. The Friday night high tide is forecast to have
the highest water levels and greatest impacts with this stretch
of coastal flooding, and high tide water levels will lower over
the weekend.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
Sunday, March 24th, 3:46pm: Coastal Flood Warning for Monday-Tuesday, March 25-26th
The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Warning for Avalon and the southern coastal region of New Jersey. The warning is in effect from Monday, March 25th at 6:00am through Tuesday, March 26th, at 2:00pm. Minor tidal flooding is likely at time of high tide Monday morning. The highest water levels are expected during the Monday evening and Tuesday morning high tide events.
High tide will occur at the Townsend’s Inlet Bridge Monday at 2:52am and again at 9:20pm. High tide will occur Tuesday at 3:28pm and again at 9:51pm.
Please exercise caution while driving during times of high tide during the Coastal Flood Warning. Never drive on any street that is covered in tidal water as this puts you and your vehicle at risk and may flood other vehicles and properties. Avalon has developed a flood risk map for our community. Please use this map as a guide in the event you want to move your vehicle to another part of the community that is not prone to tidal flooding. The weather forecast will be dry and breezy during this flooding event.
