New Nor'easter Forms Off Atlantic Coast: How It Could Impact NJ

New Jersey is bracing for a double shot of rough weather: severe thunderstorms are possible Friday afternoon and evening, followed by a sharp temperature drop that could bring freezing temps and frost to northern parts of the state. On top of that, a developing nor’easter off the Atlantic coast could bring damaging winds up to 60 mph, heavy rain, and coastal flooding concerns from late Saturday through early Tuesday, though its exact track is still up in the air. Separately, a previous nor’easter dumped so much sand into Double Creek State Channel at Barnegat Bay that some sections are only 1 to 3 feet deep, prompting an emergency $1 million dredging project expected to wrap up by early November.
