Nor'easter Threatens Jersey Shore With Flooding, Winds
US · Published Sep 23, 2026
An early fall nor'easter is forming off the Atlantic coast, bringing significant impacts to the Jersey Shore, Delaware beaches, and surrounding areas.
Coastal flood advisories are in effect from South Jersey to Virginia, with major flooding expected to begin Wednesday night.

Impact & Risks

The Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches are expected to experience the most severe impacts, including moderate to severe tidal flooding, significant beach erosion, and potential road closures. Coastal communities should prepare for elevated tides and property damage. In the Chesapeake Bay region, strong northeast winds are preventing water from draining, leading to a high risk of impassable roads. New York City and Long Island may see varying impacts depending on the storm's track, with potential for 50 mph wind gusts, heavy rain, and storm surge if the system moves closer to shore.
