...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS
EVENING TO 2 PM EDT SATURDAY...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one foot of 
  inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near 
  shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Rip Current Risk, 
  dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...Delaware Beaches.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 8 PM this evening 
  to 2 PM EDT Saturday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through 
  this evening.

* 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. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away 
  from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Spotty minor coastal flooding will be
  possible with this morning's high tide with more widespread
  minor flooding expected for this evening's high tide and then 
  again with Saturday morning's high tide. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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. 

Visit the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at
water.weather.gov/ahps for additional water level and flood
impact information for your local tide gauge.

Entering the surf is discouraged. If caught in a rip current,
relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in
a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face
the shore and call or wave for help.

Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.

  expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal 
  waterways.

* WHERE...Ocean, Monmouth, and Southeastern Burlington counties.

* WHEN...From 8 PM this evening to 2 PM EDT Saturday.

* IMPACTS...At this level, flooding begins on the most

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.

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM EDT
SATURDAY...

* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level in low- 
  lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...In New Jersey, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal 
  Atlantic, Atlantic and Cape May. In Delaware, Kent and Inland 
  Sussex.

* WHEN...Until 2 PM EDT Saturday.

* IMPACTS...At this level, flooding begins on the most

  inland tidal waterways. Some partial or full road closures are 
  possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Minor coastal flooding is possible with the

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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. 

Visit the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at
water.weather.gov/ahps for additional water level and flood
impact information for your local tide gauge.
