What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

The northeast onshore flow that preceded the low pressure system which at one time was Tropical Storm Barry produced minor tidal flooding at the times of high tide during the evening of the 3rd. The high tide reached 6.82 feet above mean lower low water in Cape May (Cape May County) and 6.78 feet above mean lower low water in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County). Minor tidal flooding begins at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water. The low pressure system that was Barry moved from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on the morning of the 3rd to just east of New Jersey on the morning of the 4th. The onshore flow ended that morning and no additional coastal flooding occurred.
