New Jersey Braces for Another Nor'easter

Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Expected Starting Wednesday

A new weather system is developing, and New Jersey might be in for another nor'easter. This storm is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds, starting as early as Wednesday.

National Weather Service Monitoring the Storm

The National Weather Service is closely watching this developing storm. While the exact details are still uncertain, they are confident that rain and wind will be significant factors. The storm is expected to peak in intensity on Wednesday night and Thursday.

Two Possible Storm Paths

There are two possible paths the storm could take:

1. Coastal Path: If the storm stays close to the coast, the Jersey Shore could experience serious wind and flooding.
2. Inland Path: If it moves more inland, the impact might be less severe.

Storm Intensifies from Thursday to Friday

As the storm moves through the area from Thursday to early Friday, it is expected to strengthen, bringing more rain and wind. The heaviest rain is forecast for Thursday night, with strong winds potentially causing disruptions.

Concerns for the Jersey Shore

Areas along the Jersey Shore, which were recently affected by a nor'easter, could face additional trouble. Beach erosion and coastal flooding are major concerns, especially with northeast winds increasing in strength.

Friday Clear-Up, but Windy and Chilly

By Friday, the storm should clear out, allowing for Halloween trick-or-treating. However, the wind may still be gusty, and temperatures will remain chilly.

Calm Before the Storm

Before the storm hits, the weather is expected to stay cool and calm. Sunday should be dry, with mostly cloudy skies in the morning that clear up by afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 50s to low 60s. Tuesday will also be quiet, but temperatures will stay below average, reaching only the 50s.
