Coastal Flood Advisories and Warnings
The latest coastal flood warnings in dark green; coastal flood advisories in light green.
These persistent onshore will result in additional coastal flooding, particularly during high tide cycles.
If that isn't enough, astronomical high tides have risen as well this weekend with the full moon (a blood red "supermoon", no less). The risk of moderate coastal flooding is greatest through early Monday morning in the northern Outer Banks, the Virginia Tidewater and Delmarva Peninsula.
Many of the aforementioned areas have already experienced minor to moderate flooding, with coastal flood advisories in effect.
However, coastal flooding may also increase farther north to parts of the Jersey shore
