PHILADELPHIA — A nor’easter that started grinding the Jersey Shore over the weekend caused widespread moderate flooding as tides peaked Monday. It was expected to continue to throttle the coast overnight.
Local officials already dealing with the high water issues and loss of beach braced for more at least through Tuesday and possibly into Wednesday from the slow-moving storm, which came on the heels of Hurricane Ian’s remnants.
The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood warning through 9 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday, along with a high surf advisory, with “1 to 2 feet of inundation” expected in low-lying areas near the Shore, back bays and tidal waterways.
