A Coastal Flood Advisory has also been issued from 1 pm until 7 pm, for coastal Atlantic and Cape May counties and Delaware Beaches.

The NWS cautions drivers to avoid areas where the water covers the roadway. The water might be deeper than you think, and it might be deep enough that a car cannot cross safely.
