This advisory warns of potential road closures and minor coastal flooding, particularly in the back bays.
Meanwhile, a Special Weather Statement has been issued for Grand Chenier, Louisiana, due to a strong thunderstorm moving northwest at 25 mph. Wind gusts of up to 40 mph are expected, posing risks of tree limb damage and unsecured object displacement in the area.
In Virginia, Westmoreland, Northumberland, Charles City, Surry, James City, and Isle of Wight Counties are all under Coastal Flood Advisories until early Friday morning. Shallow flooding is anticipated in vulnerable waterfront locations, with up to a foot of water above ground level in low-lying areas. This could result in minor property damage and road closures.
