The Flooding Continues On Long Beach Island Before The Next Storm

LON BEACH TOWNSHIP, NJ - Long Beach Boulevard is still flooded and police are again asking drivers to use Ocean Boulevard and Beach Avenue instead.

Police issued the request in a Nixle alert on Tuesday afternoon, just hours before before another Nor'easter is expected to hit.

"High tide and a full moon cycle has made driving (especially on Long Beach Blvd) challenging," according to post on the Long Beach Township Beach Patrol Facebook page. "Take special care to avoid standing water - it can conceal hidden dangers. Plus it’s cold. 88 days til’ summer."

The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood advisory from 10 p.m. on Tuesday night to 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

High tide on the oceanfront will occur between 11 pm. and 12 a.m. tonight. High tide on the back bay areas occurs later than the oceanfront. The Wednesday midday high tide is expected to be the highest of the two tides, the NWS says.

Waves will be from 6 feet to 12 feet on the ocean.

"Roadways flooding is expected," the NWS says. "Some roads will be closed to high water. A long easterly swell will continue to cause additional beach erosion."
