The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood advisory for Ocean & Burlington counties.

Advisory is valid Thursday, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., with minor tidal flooding expected.

Water could rise up to half a foot in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

Some coastal and bayside roads may see partial or full closures.

Minor flooding may continue with high tides into the weekend, especially in back bays.

NWS Warning: Do not drive through floodwaters — water may be deeper and more dangerous than it looks.

Safety tips: Seek higher ground, avoid flooded basements, disconnect appliances if time permits.

Stay alert and safe — more heavy rain and flooding risk may continue through the week.
