A storm system that’s taken its aggression out on coastal Delaware took another swing overnight. The middle-of-the-night high tide Sept. 26 into Sept. 27, wasn’t as high as the previous night, but it still reached points on the beach not seen in years.
Dune fencing and dune crossovers are strewn about. Trash and ocean debris are littering the beaches. Beach structures such as groins, jetties and stormwater outfalls in the ocean have been revealed.
The good news is that it appears the worst of the storm has passed. The National Weather Service still has wind, rip current, high surf and coastal flood advisories and warnings in place, but they all end by the end of the day Sunday, Sept. 27. The wind advisory ends at noon; coastal flood ends at 2 p.m.; rip current and high surf alerts end at 8 p.m.
It also appears the Cape Region will get a chance to dry out over the coming week. The NWS is calling for mostly sunny weather in the mid-70s beginning Tuesday, Sept. 29. The calm weather will also aid in the next step – cleanup.
