As this week’s snow draws near a coastal flood advisory is in effect for the Delaware coastline into tomorrow morning.
The National Weather Service says the alert bean at 5 a.m. this morning through 4 a.m. tomorrow morning.
The storm surge is expected to be as high as 2 and a half feet.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that as the winter storm advances tomorrow the ocean waves are expected to reach 8 to 10 feet.
The bay could see a height of up to 5 feet.
Officials are concerned that the beaches which have already been hit by the previous storm are now open to further damage with much of the sand having been washed away.
Last week work crews were out trying to replenish many of the dunes that had been damaged or disappeared during the storm.
