Potential….access into Absecon may only be from the west and north as a result of tidal flooding Saturday.

The roads in Absecon will be flooding on Saturday afternoon for several hours. South Shore Rd., south of the White Horse Pike as early as 12 noon and lasting several hours past the point of high tide (3:15-3:30 pm) to 5 or 6 pm.

New Rd. North of Holy Spirit will also flood around the same time given the incoming tide ushered in by the strong east wind and exacerbated by heavy rainfall.

Due to the heavy rain coincident with the incoming tide, Mill Rd.  approaching the dam  may also have flooding.

As for the White Horse Pike, a combination of the heavy rains; incoming tide and winds from the east gusting up to 50 mph, one lane westbound may be impassable as white caps push debris onto the shoulder and one lane.

The time frame for the above early afternoon into mid/late afternoon Saturday.

High wind advisories/warnings are up for the area. Winds gusting in excess of 50 mph at times causing spotty power outages and perhaps small trees/wires down.

Rains will be wind blown and accumulating rapidly on the more vulnerable low spots.

I would anticipate some cars being stranded by the rains and also trying to drive through flood waters.
