New Jersey Braces for Developing Coastal Storm

The National Weather Service is monitoring an offshore coastal storm expected to bring hazardous conditions to New Jersey later this week. While forecasters are still working to pinpoint the storm’s exact track and intensity, they anticipate dangerous rip currents, significant beach erosion, and wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. Depending on how close the system gets to the state, widespread tidal flooding could also become a major issue along the Jersey Shore.
