Tidal Flooding Could Impact Southeastern PA Monday Night

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Parts of the greater Philadelphia area could be vulnerable to tidal flooding through late Monday, the National Weather Service said, as wind brings high tides and powerful waves along the Atlantic coast and up the Delaware Bay.

A coastal flood advisory is in place for a significant stretch of the Delaware River on both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey sides. Philadelphia, Delaware, and Bucks counties all fall within the impacted area.

Those counties, particularly in places near the river, could see minor to moderate flooding through 9 p.m. Monday, according to officials.

Up to a foot of flooding on roads near tidal waterways is possible. Roads may be closed as a result.

No torrential rains or thunderstorms are expected, however. That's welcome news to communities still recovering from the all-time historic flooding and devastating tornadoes that swept through several weeks ago when the remnants of Hurricane Ida battered the region.

Here's a glance at the forecast for the remainder of the week, according to the National Weather Service.
