The National Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for Stone Harbor and southern coastal New Jersey.  This is an elevation of the Flash Flood Watch that was issued earlier today by the Service.  Tropical Storm Fay has developed in the Atlantic Ocean and will have a direct impact on our community.

The Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect until further notice.  The warning means tropical storm conditions are expected locally over the next 36 hours.  This may include heavy rain, tropical storm force winds, rough surf, rip currents, and the potential for street flooding from heavy rainfall.

The potential exists for winds of 35-45mph with gusts approaching 50mph at times.  Tropical storm force winds are possible through Friday afternoon.  Peak rainfall amounts are expected between two to four inches, with locally higher amounts in some locations.  Rip currents along the beaches are also expected.

Please be prepared to move your vehicle to higher ground if you live in an area of our community that often floods during heavy rainfall events.  Never drive on any flooded street or intersection as this puts you and your vehicle at risk, and causes a wake that can damage private or public property.

If you have any outside objects that are prone to strong winds, bring them inside.  These may include trash cans, umbrellas, and light patio furniture.  Contractors are asked to secure their job sites immediately and secure any loose objects.

Please continue to monitor this storm event on our various media channels, and continue to follow updates on traditional media outlets.

Here is the latest advisory from the National Weather Service:

Flash Flood Watch.

High Rip Current Risk.

 

The National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring Invest 98L as

a potential tropical cyclone. This low pressure system is currently

forecast to track close to the region and could bring heavy rain.

Localized minor tidal flooding is possible.

 

We are currently forecasting a high risk of dangerous rip currents

on Friday, and this may extend into the weekend.

 

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT…

 

Weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather

conditions according to standard operating procedures.

 

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for Stone Harbor and the rest of southern New Jersey due to a developing low pressure system that is expected to move up the eastern seaboard over the next 48 hours.  This system may become a tropical system and could bring heavy rain, wind, rip currents, and some coastal flooding to our community.

The Flash Flood Watch is in effect at midnight on Friday, July 10^th through 4:00pm, on July 10^th.  There is the potential for one to three inches of rain, with higher amounts possible, during this storm.  Heavy rain may occur in a brief period of time which can cause street flooding until the rain water drains from the streets.  Never drive on a flooded street or through a flooded intersection as this puts you and your vehicle at risk, and causes an unnecessary wake that can damage property.

If you live in a section of Stone Harbor where street flooding is common during heavy rainfall events, you are advised to consider moving your vehicle to a different part of the community.

The Stone Harbor Office of Emergency Management is in continual contact with the Cape May County Office of Emergency Management and New Jersey State Police regarding this weather event.  Continue to monitor our media channels and traditional media outlets for updates when necessary

Our community received street flooding during Thursday evening’s high tide event. Never drive on any flooded street or through any flooded intersection as this puts you and your vehicle at risk, and creates an unnecessary wake that can damage private and public property.

High tide at the Townsend’s Inlet Bridge on Friday occurs at 7:15am, and again at 7:27pm. High tides on Saturday occur at 7:50am, and again at 8:04pm.  If you live in a flood prone section of our community, consider moving your vehicle to higher ground, especially during high tide events.

* TIMING…Until 1 AM EDT Saturday.

COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS…One to two feet of inundation above   ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and   tidal waterways. Back bays will have added water with previous  tide cycles not having drained completely.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…  A Coastal Flood Warning means that moderate or major tidal flooding is occurring or imminent. Be prepared for rising water levels and take appropriate action to protect life and property. Follow the recommendations of local emergency management officials.  Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to costly repairs.  Visit the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at water.weather.gov/ahps for additional water level and flood impact information for your local tide gauge.

The National Weather Service has continued the Coastal Flood Warning for Stone Harbor and other coastal communities through the Friday evening high tide.  There is the expectation of moderate coastal flooding during high tide Thursday evening, Friday morning, and Friday evening, October 10-11.

A low pressure system has stacked water in the back bays with a strong wind that has not allowed the bays to drain during recent days.  The continued wind is expected to cause moderate tidal flooding, windy conditions, and possibly additional beach erosion through Friday evening.

High tide at the Townsend’s Inlet Bridge Thursday will occur at 6:48pm, and on Friday at 7:15am and again at 7:27pm.  Street flooding is expected in flood prone areas.  Do not attempt to drive on any flooded street.  Turn around, don’t drown.  If you live on a street that often experiences tidal flooding, you are advised to move your car to higher ground especially during high tide events.
