A warm front will bring temperatures into the mid 60s Thursday afternoon, but it will be followed by a powerful storm system that will bring rain and gusty winds to New Jersey Thursday night and Friday early.

Experts are warning homeowners on the East Coast that peak gusts of up to 60 mph are expected during the Thursday night weather event. According to AccuWeather, high tides will cause localized coastal flooding, while "pounding waves along the shore may potentially contribute to property damage along the water's edge." Melting snow and strong rain may cause more floods.
