COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 5 PM EST THIS AFTERNOON

A strengthening low pressure system will be impacting our region Tuesday with rain, elevated winds, and building seas/waves.

Up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways in Accomack and Northampton Counties from 10 AM this morning to 5 PM EST this afternoon.

Shallow flooding is expected in the most vulnerable locations near the waterfront and shoreline resulting in a low threat of property damage. Expect up to one foot of water above ground level in low lying, vulnerable areas. Some roads and low lying property including parking lots, parks and lawns near the waterfront will experience shallow flooding.

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.
