• A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect for Philadelphia and nearby tidal areas through early Friday, with additional tidal flooding possible into the weekend.
• A Nor'easter is bringing heavy winds, coastal flooding, and beach erosion to the Jersey Shore, prompting a First Alert to be extended until Saturday.

Impact & Risks

The Nor'easter is expected to cause significant coastal flooding, particularly in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. Beach erosion and high surf are major concerns along the Jersey Shore. Wind gusts up to 50 mph could lead to downed tree limbs and minor power outages. Residents in affected areas should prepare for potential flooding and hazardous travel conditions, especially during high tide cycles. The persistent northeast winds will amplify the risk of tidal flooding and erosion throughout the weekend.
