Strong Nor’easter to develop off the Coast…
One more nice day today before a strong Nor’easter develops off the coast over the weekend, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to our area, with flooding, and especially coastal flooding likely Saturday and Sunday. The biggest problem will be the constant onshore winds, which will be pushing the water back towards the coast for a long period of time (from Friday through Monday). That long a time of strong onshore winds could cause some serious flooding in coastal areas, and heavy rain is also likely in Northeastern NJ and the NYC area, which could cause some flooding from rainfall. Some trees could also fall from the soft ground from the heavy rain and strong winds, which could cause some power outages this weekend in parts of our area.
After this storm passes it will be nice Tuesday through Friday, followed by another chance for some rain next weekend into the following week.
