The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood advisory for Essex, Plymouth, Barnstable, and Nantucket counties on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. The advisory warns of potential road closures and dangerous surf conditions. In the event of flooding, it is important to seek higher ground, follow evacuation orders, and disconnect utilities and appliances. Avoid basements and submerged areas with electrical outlets, and never walk through floodwaters. If trapped, seek high ground and contact emergency services. The above guidelines are provided by Advance Local Weather Alerts, a service that compiles data from the National Weather Service using machine learning. It is crucial to stay informed and prepared during heavy rain and flooding to prioritize safety and protect life and property.
