Heavy rain, strong ocean winds and a near full moon will combine this evening to bring possible flooding to Ocean City.
The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory in effect from 7 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday, Feb. 26.
Residents in flood-prone areas should consider moving vehicles to high ground.
High tide on the bay side of Ocean City at the Ninth Street Bridge will occur at 8:44 p.m. Tuesday (and 8:58 a.m. Wednesday morning). The moon was full on Monday.
The forecast ("100 percent chance of precipitation") suggests up to three-quarters of an inch of rain is possible tonight with east winds of 20 to 24 mph. A lesser chance for rain continues through Wednesday morning.
Wednesday afternoon could end with mostly sunny skies and a high temperature of 55 degrees.
The coastal flood advisory affects shore regions of Delaware and New Jersey. It calls for 6- to 10-foot seas on the ocean. Shore regions should expect "minor tidal flooding."

The city is a ghost town during the off months. It is dreary and depressing. Thank the realtors and the developers for that and all the administrations who made the rules that have resulted in this situation. They got rich turning the town into a part time community. They knocked down all the single homes and got rich doing it. Do they have regrets? I think so but it is too late. (And would they change anything - not if it meant giving up one cent of the money they made.)

I bought my home in town 5 years ago, I own my condo in a two condo building. I took all the storms damage, my home was desimated. I have been without electric, heat, water, no walls, no floors for 4 months. McMahon underwrote my policy, my national flood claim was settled to restore and McMahon sends the claim check to the owner upstairs, who received no damage and he WILL NOT relinquish the funds. I have been subjected to hate emails, texts, calls, from the owners upstairs who think they own the policy and the disbursement. Needless to say my thoughts on living in Ocean City, americas family resort, has been nothing but. My 9 year old son just wants to go home....Insurance and banking ,Fema flood, McMahon, the town and finally an attorney have been notified. It has been 4 months! This has been a recurring nightmare.Someday, if ever, I will sell,and not look back, and not fondly at our once much sought after town.
