The National Weather Service said South Jersey will have a threat of minor flooding through 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 8. A coastal flood advisory was issued for Tuesday, Feb. 6 in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean, and Salem counties.
Minor flooding is forecasted during morning high tides in Atlantic City, Great Egg Harbor Bay at Ocean City, Cape May Harbor, and Barnegat Harbor.
“While the weather will remain tranquil through the remainder of the week, folks along the coast and tidal waterways will need to be alert for areas of minor coastal flooding and potential road closures,” the NWS posted on Facebook on Monday, Feb. 5. “Persistent northeast wind and swells, and a king tide approaching this weekend will be to blame for this coastal flooding event.”
