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

OCEAN CITY, Md. - The Ocean City beachfront is set to rumble with the return of the Ocean City Jeep Week event, drawing hundreds of vehicles and visitors to the Inlet and beach areas.

Each day from Thursday through Sunday, approximately 300 Jeeps will parade down the Ocean City beach, kicking off early at 6:30 a.m. The beach parade offers Jeep owners a scenic ride along the coast and a chance to showcase their vehicles.

Vendor setup at the Inlet Parking Lot begins at 12 p.m. each day, with vendors officially opening at noon. The lot will serve as the central hub for food, merchandise, and Jeep-related displays.

A sand course, designed for both thrill-seekers and casual drivers, will run in two daily sessions: from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., and again from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., giving drivers an opportunity to test their skills on a challenging beach obstacle course.

Tune in to CoastTV News at 5 and 6 p.m. for further developments.
