Mount Holly, NJ – Coastal residents and beachgoers in New Jersey and Delaware will see sunnier skies Thursday, but officials warn that dangerous conditions remain along the shoreline.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, skies will turn mostly sunny with highs between 73 and 82 degrees. While weather conditions are improving, forecasters caution that minor tidal flooding will continue, and a high risk of dangerous rip currents remains in place at the Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches.
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect Thursday, September 11, for areas including Atlantic City, Cape May, and coastal Delaware. Residents in low-lying areas should remain alert for minor flooding during high tide cycles. Beachgoers are strongly urged to avoid swimming, as rip currents can pull even experienced swimmers away from shore.
The forecast for Friday, September 12, calls for partly to mostly sunny skies with temperatures again ranging from the mid-70s to low-80s. Rip current risks will remain moderate into Friday before conditions ease further over the weekend. Saturday’s outlook is mostly sunny with slightly stronger breezes expected.
Officials recommend avoiding the water, monitoring local advisories, and checking tide schedules before traveling along the coast
