1035 AM EDT Sat Aug 23 2025

...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM EDT
SUNDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING...

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

* WHERE...In Delaware, Delaware Beaches. In New Jersey, Atlantic
  Coastal Cape May.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 2 AM EDT Sunday.
  For the High Rip Current Risk, through Sunday 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...Localized moderate tidal flooding remains
  possible with the Saturday night high tide, particularly along
  the backbays that remain slow to drain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Warning means that moderate or major tidal
flooding is occurring or imminent. Be prepared for rising water
levels and take appropriate action to protect life and property.
Follow the recommendations of local emergency management
officials.

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
https://water.noaa.gov/phi for additional water level and flood
impact information for your local tide gauge.

Always obey posted Beach Flags. If you enter the surf zone,
always have a floatation device with you and swim near a
lifeguard if possible. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float and do not swim against the current. If able, swim parallel
to 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.

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EDT
SUNDAY...

* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level 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...Until 6 AM EDT Sunday.

* IMPACTS...At this level, flooding begins on the most
  vulnerable roads along tidal waterways. Some partial or full
  road closures are possible.

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.

impact information for your local tide gauge.

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.
