The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch in effect for Ocean City from 2 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday.
A widespread line of showers and thunderstorms could bring excessive rainfall to parts of New Jersey, including Ocean City. The rainfall may reach as much as 2 inches per hour and result in significant street flooding. Rain and thunderstorms remain in the forecast for Wednesday.

Residents are asked to closely monitor the forecast and weather conditions. Heavy rain flooding can impact parts of the island that don’t typically experience tidal flooding, and flooding conditions can develop quickly.
Be prepared to move vehicles. The roads closer to the beach are typically at higher elevation as are mid-block parking spots away from storm drains near intersections.
Parking also will be available at the Trinity United Methodist Church at 20 North Shore Road in Marmora.
For Police and Fire Department emergencies, call 911. For non-emergencies, call 609-399-9111.
