* WHAT...One to two feet of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...In New Jersey, Gloucester, Camden and Northwestern Burlington. In Pennsylvania, Delaware, Philadelphia and Lower Bucks. * WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to 4 AM EDT Friday. * IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs along tidal waterways. Some roads become impassable. Minor damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Widespread tidal flooding could continue through at least Friday night's high tide or perhaps longer.
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.

Storm surge
Measured less predicted: +1.61 ft now; over 48 hours, +0.92 ft to +2.01 ft. Wind, air pressure and river flow move the water off the tide table.
Coastal flood thresholds
| Minor flooding | 9.3 ft |
| Moderate flooding | 10.3 ft |
| Major flooding | 11.3 ft |
The water is 6.61 ft below minor flood level now. Highest predicted tide in the next 7 days: 8.5 ft on Tue, Sep 29 at 4:53 PM, 0.9 ft below minor flooding. Thresholds are the National Weather Service’s, used for its coastal flood advisories and warnings, in feet above MLLW.

What this means
Heights are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW): the average of the lower of each day’s two low tides over NOAA’s 19-year tidal epoch, and the zero of US tide tables and nautical charts. A low tide below that average is printed as a negative height.
Predictions are astronomical. They account for the moon and the sun, not the weather: onshore wind, low air pressure and high river flow hold the water above the prediction, offshore wind and high pressure hold it below. The water level above measures the difference.
Spring tides, the largest ranges of the month, follow the new and full moon by a day or two. Neap tides, the smallest, follow the quarter moons.
