Full Notification

* WHAT...For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Watch, one to two feet of inundation above ground level possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...Atlantic Coastal Cape May and Coastal Atlantic.

* WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through Friday evening. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening.

* IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...With the long duration of onshore winds expected, the back bays may struggle to drain during low tides. This could result in minor to moderate coastal flooding lingering after high tide. Additionally, minor flooding is possible again with the Sunday afternoon high tide.

* AFFECTED AREAS: ATLANTIC COASTAL CAPE MAY ... COASTAL ATLANTIC

Instructions:

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
