...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS
EVENING TO 2 AM EDT SUNDAY...

* WHAT...Up to one foot of inundation above ground level
expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways.

* WHERE...Portions of central and southern Delaware and central,
northern and southern New Jersey.

* WHEN...From 8 PM this evening to 2 AM EDT Sunday.

* IMPACTS...At this level, flooding begins on the most
vulnerable roads in coastal and bayside communities, and along
inland tidal waterways. Some partial or full road closures are
possible.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is
expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road
closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood.

Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal
flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The
water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting
yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to
costly repairs.

Visit the National Water Prediction Service at
https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/phi for additional water level and
flood impact information for your local tide gauge.

DELAWARE - Beagles from a mass breeding facility are now awaiting a forever home in the first state.

The Delaware Humane Association's Wilmington Adoption Center and the Delaware SPCA's Stanton/Christiana Adoption Center are now caring for 12 Beagles.

DHA says those beagles were part of 4,000 rescued from a mass breeding facility in Cumberland, Virginia.

The Humane Society of America began removing the Beagles last month and delivering them to their official partners, including the DHA and the Delaware SPCA, as well as the Brandywine Valley SPCA.

Cory Topel with DHA says the Beagles are currently being medically assessed by the organization's veterinarian. They are not available for adoption yet, but she says don't hesitate to submit your application because DHA is already receiving a lot of interest.

"It was a group of puppies who came on the transport yesterday," Topel says. "They were a little nervous when they first got off the van, but as soon as they touched ground and they were in our arms, we realized all they wanted was love. All they wanted was attention and we actually had the opportunity to watch them touch their paws to grass for the first time yesterday."

DHA and Delaware SPCA are running a Beagle naming contest. Anyone who donates $250 from now through Thursday at 9 p.m. will be entered for a chance to name one of these Beagles. The shelters plan to formally introduce them by name on Friday via social media.
