US · Published Oct 19, 2026
• A Nor’easter is causing prolonged onshore winds, leading to concerns about minor coastal flooding in low-lying areas along the Atlantic beaches, Delaware Bay, and nearby tidal waterways.
• A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 3 PM to 9 PM EDT on Tuesday, with up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in vulnerable areas.

Impact & Risks

Minor tidal flooding is expected to affect the most vulnerable roads in coastal and bayside communities, potentially causing partial or full road closures. Low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways are at risk of inundation, which could disrupt transportation and damage property. Residents and motorists are urged to avoid flood-prone areas and exercise caution, as floodwaters may be deeper than they appear, posing safety risks and potential vehicle damage.
