PHILADELPHIA — A nor’easter that’s been grinding down on the Jersey Shore on the heels of the remnants of Hurricane Ian could cause major flooding as high tides peak Monday afternoon, say forecasters, who have issued a warning.
The National Weather Service’s coastal flood warning is in effect through 9 p.m. local time Tuesday, along with a high surf advisory, with “one to two feet of inundation” expected in low-lying areas near the Shore, back bays and tidal waterways. The storm is causing dangerous rip currents from Atlantic City to Cape May.
As a result, widespread road flooding is expected with risky conditions for surfers, and impacts expected to last longest in the back bays.
