Strong Winds and Flooding Likely Through Monday
More hazardous weather is still to come despite a nor'easter storm that whipped high winds, torrential rain, and flooding in New Jersey on Sunday.
"A powerful coastal storm is still having significant effects and will continue to do so through Monday," the National Weather Service stated in an update on Sunday night.
"Coastal communities and marine zones continue to experience the most severe effects, with substantial coastal flooding, significant beach erosion and dune breaching, strong to damaging winds, and significant waves."
A state of emergency that went into effect at 10 p.m. on Saturday is still in place in all 21 New Jersey counties.
On Monday, the National Weather Service has issued coastal flood warnings through 8 p.m. and high wind warnings through 6 a.m.
According to the weather service, the highest winds are predicted to occur Sunday evening through early Monday morning, with gusts of up to 60 mph possible along the shore.
The greatest reported wind speeds to date were 59 mph in Cape May County's Sea Isle and 54 mph in nearby Avalon.
On Sunday night, thousands of residences and businesses throughout the state were still without electricity.
Water levels are predicted to rise sharply during high tide cycles after midnight and again on Monday afternoon, causing moderate to perhaps serious flooding in coastal areas.
Cape May and Ocean City experienced high tides on Sunday afternoon that were below the main flood stage, but Monday afternoon high tides are predicted to be higher.
The meteorological service stated that "more rounds of moderate to major coastal flood impacts are likely during the high tides on Sunday night and Monday afternoon."
