coastal flood

It's not just river flooding.

We've got other types of flooding and that includes the coastal flooding.

And it includes what we call pluvial flooding, which is flooding in areas where there's no river near it.

It's coming from runoff from roofs, etc.

New Jersey, 101.5 instant weather.

All right, let's update our coastal flooding situation here.

We are above minor flood stage across much of the Jersey Shore once again.

So we are going to have those water inundation issues, low-lying areas and roadways are going to have some issues.

There is, Hallie, though the worst of it I do think is behind us.

The worst of that coastal flooding, the heaviest rain, the strongest winds.

But still, we will see periods of heavy rain and gusty winds through the night tonight, and still some minor coastal flooding for this evening's high tides and tomorrow morning.

By tomorrow afternoon, that nor'easter is moving up the New England coastline and bringing rain throughout the day on Monday.

The totals here aren't huge, but they add on top of what we've already seen.

The danger that we're worried about is we may not be able to get to them in the case of an emergency.

Overnight in New Jersey, parts of Long Beach Island underwater, like here in Surf City, as the powerful storm's strong winds brings coastal flooding that's set to peak later today.

Beach Haven also submerged by sitting water with even more flooding on the way.

Farther south in Ocean City, tidal flooding sweeping into neighborhoods along the shore.

Authorities surveying beaches working to prevent dangerous erosion as lashing waves threaten coastlines.

All right, this is what we're looking at as far as the overall impacts of this storm system.

Of course, we're talking about coastal flooding, beach erosion.

We also have very strong gusty winds that are damaging.

Antoinette is off today.

Starting tonight, we're expecting strong winds, heavy rain and coastal flooding with impacts that could linger for days.

We have live team coverage, timing out the storm and how you can prepare.

Let's start with Kellyanne.

And then our coastline.

You have this wind that's been persistent out of the northeast and only gets stronger through this storm.

That means we have to watch for beach erosion and possibly some surge leading to coastal flooding.

So let's take a closer deep dive into that.

I'm Sarah Bloomquist along with John Paul.

Up next here on Action News at Noon, whipping winds and the threat of coastal flooding underway right now.

And we're tracking a potential weekend nor'easter at the Jersey Shore.

Plus, the Phillies hoping they can clinch a playoff spot tonight at the bank.

this point, I think we can say that there will be a nor'easter that impacts the east coast this weekend.

The big question for our area is how far inland will that area of low pressure get? A lot of the models are shifting things a little bit farther to the west, which is concerning.

So let's talk about our high tide cycle because coastal flooding remains our greatest risk I saw some reports last evening when we had a moderate flooding concern.

Looks like that'll be the case again as we head into this evening.

I'm Levon Putney.

Coastal flood warnings now in effect early Saturday for Atlantic, Cape May Ocean and southeastern Burlington counties.

Monmouth under a flood advisory given the system passing now.

And forecasters are also looking at the chances of this nor'easter swiping the coastline this coming weekend.

Partly cloudy and breezy lows in the lower 50s tomorrow.

Clouds and sun with a brisk wind returning and isolated showers possible highs mid 60s.

Coastal flooding is going to be a concern throughout this forecast, by the way.

Friday, sunny clouds, breezy highs near 70.
