What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

The nor'easter caused widespread minor with pockets of moderate tidal flooding along Delaware Bay, Raritan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the 15th and 16th. It also caused beach erosion. The worst reported tidal flooding occurred along Monmouth County where tidal flooding occurred for up to three high tide cycles. Tidal flooding on the 16th occurred along the westward facing side of Barnegat Bay in Ocean County as strong to high west winds pushed the water east.| |In Monmouth County, the combination of the run-off from the heavy rain and the tides caused many roads to flood including New Jersey State Roads 35 and 36. Municipalities affected by tidal and roadway flooding included Aberdeen, Belford, Belmar, Hazlet, Manasquan, Middletown, Port Monmouth, Sea Bright and Union Beach. In an effort to reduce tidal flooding, water was pumped from Lake Como in Belmar. On the beaches themselves, vertical cuts to the beaches averaged 2 to 4 feet, but reached as high as 6 feet in Sea Bright, Deal and Asbury Park. Cuts to the dune systems themselves occurred in Deal, Long Branch, Monmouth Beach and Sea Bright. The horizontal dune cut in Sea Bright reached 1500 feet.|In Ocean County, the worst reported flooding occurred on the bay side on the 16th. Portions of State Route 35 were flooded. The ramps into and out of State Route 37 in Seaside Heights were flooded. Bay flooding was reported in Lavallette, Mantoloking, Seaside Park and Surf City.|Tidal flooding reached into the yards of homes on Cedar Bonnet Island.|On the Atlantic Ocean side, erosion was severe in Harvey Cedars in the Atlantic Avenue area where the vertical cut reached between 6 and 8 feet. Elsewhere in Harvey Cedars and the county, most of the vertical cuts were between 2 and 4 feet. |In Atlantic County, the only reported erosion was in the Atlantic City area were a cut to the dune system occurred in a 10 foot area. The vertical cut to the beach reached 5 to 6 feet. Damage to the boardwalk railing was also reported.|In Cape May County, The high tide the night of the 15th forced the closure of the George Redding Bridge in Wildwood (New Jersey State Route 47) and Ocean Drive (County Route 619) between Ocean City and Strathmere. Tidal flooding also occurred on the Delaware Bay side with wave damage reported to several homes in Reeds Beach (Middle Township).|The pounding surf also caused the geotubes to become exposed in Strathmere. Most of the vertical cuts were 1 to 3 feet, except for a small section in Cape May City where the vertical cut to the beaches reached 6 feet.|In Cumberland County, in Downe Township, the road to Money Island was breached by the tide and sand was tossed on the road. In Seabreeze (Fairfield Township), a multi-million dollar shore restoration project (that was nearing completion) was badly damaged. In Maurice River Township, tidal flooding along the bay and the Maurice River flooded several roads including Glades and Matts Landing Roads.|The highest tides included 8.13 feet above mean lower low water at Sandy Hook (Monmouth County) on the morning of the 16th, and 7.22 feet above mean lower low water at Cape May (Cape May County), on the evening of the 15th. Minor tidal flooding starts at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water and moderate tidal flooding starts at 7.7 feet above mean lower low water.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 15, 3:07 AM EST, 2 hours 53 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
407 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE/A STORM SYSTEM...WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT
MOVES THROUGH THE CAROLINAS AND EASTERN VIRGINIA TODAY, THEN
REACHES THE SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY COAST THIS EVENING ON ITS WAY TO
LONG ISLAND BY LATE TONIGHT. THE STORM WILL THEN MEANDER OFF THE
NORTHEAST COAST INTO TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE HEADING OUT TO SEA BY
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
ALTHOUGH SOME SNOW WAS FALLING OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
POCONOS AND NW NJ, AS TEMPERATURES DROPPED RAPIDLY WITH THE ONSET
OF PCPN. NOW THAT TEMPS HAVE SETTLED DOWN IN THIS AREA, WARM
ADVECTION SHOULD ALLOW THE SNOW TO CHANGE TO RAIN EARLY THIS
MORNING WITH PERHAPS AN INCH OR TWO ACCUMULATION AT THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS.

OTHERWISE...RAIN HAS OVERSPREAD THE REGION AND RADAR CONTINUES TO
SUPPORT THE COMPUTER PROGS THAT THE RAINFALL INTENSITY WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE. THE STORM IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A NEGATIVELY
TILTED DIFLUENT UPPER AIR SYSTEM WITH STRONG DYNAMICS. THIS MEANS
THAT THE HEAVY RAIN FORECAST CONTINUES TO LOOK GOOD. WE EXPECTED
WIDESPREAD 2 TO 3 INCH AMOUNTS AND SOME 4 INCHERS ARE POSSIBLE.

THIS AFTERNOON...MODELS SUGGEST A WARM SECTOR MAKING IT INTO THE
SOUTHERN MOST AREAS. HOWEVER, WITH THE COLD OCEAN, THIS WARMER AIR
PROBABLY WONT BE SEEN ON THE GROUND AND WILL BE LIFTED ABOVE THE
MARITIME LAYER. EVEN SO, THERE WILL BE WARMER AIR AROUND AND TSTMS
COULD DEVELOP AS THE COLD FRONT COMES IN FROM THE WEST. WINDS
ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG AND IF TSTMS DO FORM, SOME OF THE
STRONG WINDS MIGHT MIX DOWN POSSIBLY CAUSING A SVR TSTM.

TONIGHT, A TROWEL LOOKS LIKE IT DEVELOPS ON THE NW QUADRANT OF THE
LOW AS COLD AIR ARRIVES. EVENTUALLY IT GETS COLD ENOUGH TO CHANGE
THE RAIN TO SNOW NORTH LATE TONIGHT OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS. OVER
THE REST OF THE REGION, THE PCPN SHOULD BECOME MORE SHOWERY WITH
LESS LIFT ALOFT AND WITH THE COLDER AIR RETURNING, SOME OF THE
SHOWERS...EVEN SOUTH COULD BE MIXED WITH SNOW.

A WIND ADVISORY HAS ALSO BEEN ISSUED FOR THE NJ AND DE COASTS.
ONSHORE GALE FORCE WINDS SHOULD CAUSE WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ON MONDAY...SNOW IS EXPECTED NORTH. HOWEVER, IT IS QUESTIONABLE
HOW MUCH FALLS AND WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH MOISTURE REMAINS WITH
THE TROWEL. THE TROWEL LIFTS TO THE NORTH LATE IN THE DAY AND EVEN
THE NORTHERN AREAS SHOULD SEE THE SNOW BECOME SHOWERY. USING THE
GFS SOUNDINGS AS A GUIDE, NRN NJ WILL BE THE LAST TO GET THE COLD
AIR AND CHANGE TO SNOW...THEREFORE, DUE TO THE LONGER DURATION OF
THE RAIN THERE, I DID NOT EXTEND THE WINTER STORM WATCH INTO EVEN
SUSSEX COUNTY NJ.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WE REMAIN UNDER WEAKENING CYCLONIC FLOW
ALOFT. THE AIRMASS WILL BE UNSTABLE AND COLD ALLOWING RAIN OR SNOW
SHOWERS TO DEVELOP, MAINLY ON TUESDAY. THE BIGGEST EFFECT WILL BE
THE WINDY CONDITIONS AS SOME OF THE WINDS FROM ALOFT MIX DOWN, ESP
ON TUESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. ALSO, MOST OF
THE COLD AIR WILL BE GONE BY THE WEEKEND AS TEMPERATURES MODERATE
BACK TO NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...
THE MUCH ADVERTISED STORM IS UPON US, ALBEIT ITS MOVEMENT IS A
LITTLE SLOWER THAN ORIGINALLY EXPECTED.  LOCAL TAF SITES GENERALLY
MVFR/IFR CIGS AND EITHER VFR OR MVFR VSBYS.  HOWEVER, CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO FURTHER DETERIORATE TOWARD DAYBREAK WITH IFR/LIFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH SOME HEAVY RAIN.  STRONG E TO NE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE LOW, EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS NOT COME
TO FRUITION SO FAR.  WINDS WILL THEN TURN AROUND TO THE NW AROUND
00Z AND WILL REMAIN HIGH OR GET EVEN HIGHER DURING THE DAY MONDAY.
THE RAIN WILL TAPER OFF AND BECOME MORE SHOWERY TONIGHT INTO MONDAY,
BUT TEMPS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SOME SNOW SHOWERS AS WELL.
&&

.MARINE...
WITH THE SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE STORM, THE MARINE AREA STILL
REMAINS RELATIVELY QUIET EARLY THIS MORNING.  HOWEVER CONDITIONS
WILL BE CHANGING AS THE LOW APPROACHES AND THEN RE-EMERGES OFF THE
COAST.

WINDS AND SEAS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AND GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL
BECOME LIKELY. AS THE LOW MOVES SLOWLY UP THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT, WINDS WILL DROP OFF SOMEWHAT. BUT AS THE
LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY N INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, THE TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER OUR
AREA CAUSING WINDS TO ONCE AGAIN INCREASE TO GALE FORCE, THIS TIME
FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE LOW WILL LINGER OVER THE NERN CONUS BEFORE
HEADING OUT TO SEA TUESDAY.  THIS WILL KEEP GALE FORCE GUSTS AT
LEAST THROUGH MONDAY AND PROBABLY WELL INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.TIDES...
THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT, EVEN THOUGH THE BIGGEST
PROBLEMS NOW APPEAR WITH THE AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE.  AGAIN, WITH THE
SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE STORM, WE ARE JUST AWAITING THINGS TO RAMP
UP.  HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL COMBINE WITH THE STRONG ONSHORE
FLOW TO PRODUCE MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH
TIDE. ANY FLOODING WILL BE EXACERBATED BY THE HEAVY RAINFALL. BACK
BAYS WILL ALSO HAVE TIDAL FLOODING, BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY RAIN AND
THE DIFFICULTY IN DRAINING. THE TIMING OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE LOW
WILL DETERMINE WHAT AREAS WILL HAVE MODERATE FLOODING DURING THE
EVENING TIDES. IT APPEARS THAT THE LOW WILL BE CENTERED SOMEWHERE
ALONG THE CENTRAL OR NORTHERN NEW JERSEY COAST BY EVENING. THIS WILL
GIVE THE AREAS NEAR AND NORTH OF THE CENTER THE BEST CHANCES FOR
MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING AT THAT TIME. AS THE STORM MOVES SLOWLY OFF
TO THE NORTH, W TO NW WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM WILL
INCREASE TO GALE FORCE AND POSSIBLY PRODUCE BLOWOUT CONDITIONS
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE FLOOD WATCH IS DEFINATELY WARRANTED, ESPECIALLY FROM
ILG-PHL-TTN NORTHWARD. IN THESE AREAS 1.5 INCHES WILL PROBABLY
START FLOODING ON SMALLER STREAMS. THESE VALUES COULD BE REACHED
EARLY THIS MORNING WITH HEAVY RAIN ALREADY IN PLACE. ANYONE LIVING
NEAR STREAMS OR IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS SHOULD PREPARED TO TAKE
ACTION IF FLOOD OR FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ISSUED.
