Residents in parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania are being warned of possible coastal flooding as a Coastal Flood Advisory was issued from Sunday afternoon through Monday night. The National Weather Service (NWS) advisory covers Gloucester, Camden, Northwestern Burlington, Delaware, Philadelphia, and Lower Bucks counties, where up to one foot of flooding above ground level may occur near shorelines and tidal waterways.

Minor tidal flooding may make some roads impassable. Water levels are expected to rise Sunday evening, potentially causing partial or full road closures. Residents are advised to avoid flood-prone parking areas and not to drive through floodwaters.

As per the National Weather Service, showers are expected after noon today, with temperatures around 68 degrees and northeast winds of 5 to 10 mph. Rain chances will increase to 70% later tonight. Rainy, overcast, and breezy conditions are expected to continue through Monday night.

High tide times from the National Weather Service for the Delaware River at Philadelphia and Burlington indicate possible minor to moderate flooding during the Sunday evening and Monday afternoon tides. These events may cause temporary disruptions along the Delaware River and nearby areas.
