The National Weather Service has extended the Coastal Flood Warning for the Borough through Sunday, March 4th, at 3:00pm. The Warning calls for the potential of moderate coastal flooding at time of high tide on Saturday morning, Saturday evening, and Sunday morning. There is a High Wind Advisory in effect on Satuday, March 3rd until 12 Noon for 20-25 mph winds that could gust to 45 mph; winds are expected to diminish through the day.

The coastal storm that impacted our region on Friday has moved away from the New Jersey coastline. Skies will clear; however, there is still a threat of minor to moderate coastal flooding during the next three high tide cycles. Never attempt to drive on any street that may be flooded as the water is often deeper than it appears and can damage your vehicle and compromise your safety.

High tide occurs Saturday at 8:51am and again at 9:19pm; high tide on Sunday occurs at 9:36am.

Atlantic City Electric continues to restore power throughout southern New Jersey. If you have an interruption in your electrical service, contact the utility directly at 1-800-833-7476.
