The National Weather Service (NWS) in Mount Holly has issued a coastal flood advisory for the Jersey Shore for 2 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 23.
A strong nor'easter with high winds is expected to affect the region starting this afternoon, causing a storm surge of 2 to 3 feet above the astronomical high tide, the NWS said.
Wave height is expected to reach between 6 and 8 feet.
If you keep your vehicle in an area known to flood, move it to higher ground, the NWS says.
Also, don't drive into or through flood waters. "The water may be deeper than you think it is," according to the NWS.
(Note to readers: The Gazette will monitor conditions and post updates throughout the storm for as long as the WiFi holds up. Unless the server has a battery I'm not aware of, which would be grand!)
