The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
A strong nor'easter caused strong winds as well as minor to moderate tidal flooding in Upper Delaware Bay and around Raritan Bay and moderate tidal flooding in Lower Delaware Bay and Atlantic Coastal New Jersey on the 9th. The nor'easter also caused minor to moderate beach erosion. Peak wind gusts averaged 45 to 55 mph along coastal New Jersey and knocked down weak trees, tree limbs and power lines. Because of the adverse weather, New Jersey Transit cross-honored train tickets.
Tidal flooding affected all of the coastal counties in New Jersey. In Monmouth County, in Sea Bright, two women were rescued from flooded waters in two separate incidents on Ocean Avenue. They both attempted to drive through flood waters. Flooding was also reported along Raritan Bay. In Ocean County, a steel sea wall was exposed in Mantoloking and Brick. A nine foot drop-off was reported along the beach. Sand bags were distributed in Toms River Township. In Lavallette, flooding forced the closure of one lane on Northbound New Jersey State Route 35 south of Washington Street. More extensive coastal and roadway flooding was reported on the southern half of Long Beach Island. Sections of Long Beach Boulevard were flooded and closed as vehicles were detoured to back roads. In Atlantic County, waves were crashing onto roadways in Longport. In Cape May County, West Wildwood closed the George Redding Bridge (New Jersey State Route 47). In Ocean City, tidal flooding reached the doorways of businesses on West Avenue. Schools were closed.
The onshore flow around a surface high moving across Canada and spring tides with the departing full moon, caused minor tidal flooding to start with the morning tide cycles on the 7th and 8th. But, they peaked with the high tide cycle on the morning of the 9th with the arrival of the nor'easter. Highest tides included 7.61 feet above mean lower low water at Sandy Hook (Monmouth County). The moderate tidal flooding threshold is 7.70 feet above mean lower low water. The highest tide at Atlantic City (Atlantic County) was 7.22 feet above mean lower low water. The moderate tidal flooding threshold is 7.0 feet above mean lower low water. The highest tide at the Cape May Ferry Terminal (Cape May County) was 7.78 feet above mean lower low water. The moderate tidal flooding threshold is 7.7 feet above mean lower low water. Along the tidal Watson Creek at Manasquan (Monmouth County), minor flooding occurred 726 a.m. EST through 956 a.m. EST on the 8th. On the 9th, moderate flooding occurred and the creek was above its 5.5 foot flood stage from 736 a.m. EST through 1117 a.m. EST. It crested at 6.54 feet at 948 a.m. EST.
All of the following gage sites experienced at least minor tidal flooding. We are collaborating with municipalities to fine tune threshold heights for moderate and major coastal flooding. Once they are made official, we will begin categorizing the type of coastal flooding at these sites. Highest tides included 8.13 feet above mean lower low water at South Amboy (Middlesex County), 6.67 feet above mean lower low water at Sea Bright (Monmouth County), 7.39 feet above mean lower at Belmar (Monmouth County), 3.84 feet above mean lower low water at Ship Bottom (Ocean County), 7.30 feet above mean lower low water at Tuckerton (Ocean County), 6.78 feet above mean lower low water at Absecon (Atlantic County), 7.38 feet above mean lower low water at Stone Harbor (Cape May County) and 8.04 feet above mean lower low water at Bivalve (Cumberland County).
Peak wind gusts included 56 mph in Kite Island in Barnegat Bay (Ocean County) and Tuckerton (Ocean County), 55 mph in Harvey Cedars (Ocean County), 52 mph in Long Beach Township (Ocean County), 50 mph in Brick Township and Barnegat Inlet (Ocean County), 49 mph in Sea Girt (Monmouth County) and Waretown (Ocean County), 47 mph in Monmouth Beach (Monmouth County) and 46 mph in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County) and Cape May Harbor (Cape May County).
The strong winds and moderate coastal flooding were caused by an intensifying nor'easter low pressure system. The pressure gradient (difference) was already in place with a high pressure system over the Canadian Maritimes. Meanwhile, the low pressure system formed off the Carolina coastal waters on the 8th. It tracked northward and deepened (intensified) as it reached the Delmarva coastal waters at 7 a.m. EST on the 9th. The low pressure system deepened an additional twelve millibars during the next six hours and was off the New Jersey coastal waters at 1 p.m. EST on the 9th. The low pressure system stopped intensifying and drifted off to the northeast reaching the Rhode Island coastal waters during the evening of the 9th and eastern Massachusetts around Midnight EST on the 10th. Once this intensification process stopped, so did the strong winds and the 9th was the last high tide cycle in which coastal flooding occurred.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
931 PM EST MON DEC 8 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL
GRADUALLY RETREAT TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE EAST OF THE CAROLINAS WILL
STEADILY INTENSIFY INTO A STRONG NOR'EASTER...ARRIVING NEAR LONG
ISLAND TUESDAY EVENING. THE STORM VERY SLOWLY WEAKENS AND MEANDERS
NORTHEASTWARD THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE IN THE OHIO
VALLEY WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY INFLUENCE HERE THIS COMING WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
MULTI-FACETED HEADLINE EVENT BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE
REGION.
THE MAIN UPDATE TO THE FORECAST WAS TO EXPAND THE ADVISORY A TIER
OF COUNTIES TO THE SOUTHEAST. THESE AREAS REMAIN BELOW FREEZING
LATE THIS EVENING AND RAINFALL IS APPROACHING. SINCE TEMPERATURES
HAVE BEEN SLOW TO RISE, AND RAINFALL IS EXPECTED WITHIN THE NEXT
FEW HOURS, WE EXPECT A SHORT PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN OVERNIGHT.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD RISE ABOVE FREEZING BAY DAYBREAK, SO DID NOT
GO AS LONG AS THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY WHICH REMAINS THE SAME.
RAINFALL HAS BEGUN TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES
THIS EVENING, AND THIS PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
NORTHWARD. THERE IS A LOT OF DRY AIR IN THE COLUMN SO IT MAY TAKE
A WHILE FOR SATURATION TO BE REALIZED, WHICH MAY ALSO HELP KEEP
THE TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY. WITH THE
LIGHT INTENSITY OF THE PRECIPITATION, AT THE ONSET, WE EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN RELATIVELY STEADY OR DROP A COUPLE OF
DEGREES TONIGHT. THE LOW-LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS CONTINUE TO WARM
ENOUGH THAT FULL MELTING OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR ACROSS
THE PHILADELPHIA METRO AREA AND FURTHER SOUTHWARD.
INITIALLY WE EXPECT SOME FRONT END SNOW TO ACCUMULATE ACROSS THE
POCONOS BEFORE QUICKLY TRANSITIONING OVER TO SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING
RAIN. ENOUGH WARM AIR SHOULD MOVE IN BY LATE IN THE MORNING TO TURN
MOSTLY TO A LIQUID PRECIPITATION.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
DURING THE DAY JUST ABOUT ALL LOCATIONS SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO PLAIN
RAIN...AND IT WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES WITH FGEN FORCING ON THE
NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE COASTAL LOW. ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ARE PRETTY
WET TO BEGIN TO WITH, AFTER THE LAST STORM, AND WITH BETTER RUNOFF
EXPECTED WE HAVE A FLOOD WATCH IN AFFECT MOSTLY FOR THE I-95
CORRIDOR COUNTIES AND PARTS OF SOUTHEAST NEW JERSEY WHERE 2 TO
POSSIBLY 3 INCHES OF RAIN MAY OCCUR. MORE WINTRY MIXING SHOULD LIMIT
THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF ACROSS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AND THE LEHIGH
VALLEY.
WE ALSO HAVE A WIND ADVISORY IN AFFECT FOR OUR COASTAL STRIP IN NEW
JERSEY WHERE A 55-60 KNOT LLJ SHOULD BE SETTING UP. THE BIGGEST
ISSUE WILL BE WITH THE AMOUNT OF MIXING OCCURRING AS WE SHOULD HAVE
A PRETTY GOOD WARM NOSE ALOFT. GIVEN THAT WE ARE EXPECTING HEAVY
RAINFALL ALONG THE COAST ALLOWING FOR DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSFER
THERE IS A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THAT SOME 40 KNOT GUSTS WILL OCCUR
BEFORE THE CENTER OF THE LOW PASSES BY...LATER TUESDAY EVENING.
STILL EXPECT THE BULK OF THE SNOWFALL TO OCCUR ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE SYSTEM LATER TUESDAY EVENING AS STRONGER OMEGA AND FGEN COME
TOGETHER. GIVEN THE POOR MANS ENSEMBLE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM, CLOSER
TO THE COAST, WE WILL NEED A LOT OF FORCING AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
TO HIT WARNING CRITERIA ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES. STILL DID NOT
HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO GO WITH A WARNING FOR SUSSEX COUNTY NEW
JERSEY, MOSTLY BASED ON WHERE WE THINK THE BACKSIDE DEFORMATION ZONE
WILL SETUP...IN PENNSYLVANIA. SNOWFALL RATES COULD BE PRETTY HEFTY
ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES TOWARDS THE LATE EVENING HOURS AS WE SEE
THE TRANSITION FROM RAIN BACK TO SNOW. STILL THINK A SWATH OF 8-10
IS VERY POSSIBLE WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LINGERING EFFECTS OF MULTI HAZARD NOR'EASTER ARE THE MAIN WEATHER
IMPACT AT THE START OF THIS TIME PERIOD. CONTINUITY WAS HEAVILY
MAINTAINED FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT FORECAST. WPC GRIDDED
GUIDANCE WAS PRIMARY INPUT FOR THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY TIME FRAME.
WEDNESDAY...PERIODS OF WET SNOW AND RAIN (MAINLY WET SNOW I95
WESTWARD). FURTHER SNOW ACCUMS ANYWHERE SHOULD BE UNDER 2 INCHES.
NORTHWEST WINDS GUST 20 TO 30 MPH DURING THE DAY AND DIMINISH AT
NIGHT.
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT: THE SLOW MOVING LOW NORTH OF US WILL
CONTINUE TO RESULT IN MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A CONTINUED NORTHWEST
FLOW. STILL THE THREAT FOR WRAP AROUND RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS.
FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY: A BROAD HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
BUILD INTO THE REGION IN THIS PERIOD...THOUGH IT MAY STILL BE
COMPETING WITH THIS OCCLUDED CYCLONE FOR DOMINANCE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES TREND SLOWLY WARMER BACK TOWARD SEASONAL
NORMS. SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS OVER FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY. OTHERWISE...NO PRECIPITATION IN THIS
TIME PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS FOR KPHL, KPNE, KTTN, KABE, KRDG, KILG,
KMIV, KACY AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
THIS EVENING - TONIGHT...MVFR TO IFR. NORTHEAST WINDS, AROUND 12-14
KNOTS EXPECTED, AS PRECIPITATION SPREADS IN FROM THE
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. MOST TERMINALS, OUTSIDE OF RDG/ABE SHOULD BE MOSTLY
RAIN. RDG/ABE COULD SEE SOME SNOW/SLEET TRANSITIONING TO
RAIN/FREEZING RAIN EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
TOMORROW INTO TOMORROW NIGHT...IFR, WITH POSSIBLE LIFR IN HEAVIER
RAIN. COASTAL STORM MOVES BY TO OUR EAST AND THE WINDS BEGIN TO
BACK TOWARDS THE NORTH-NORTHWEST AND BECOME QUITE GUSTY..UPWARDS
OF 30 KNOTS CLOSER TO THE COAST. RAIN MAY BEGIN TO MIX WITH SOME
SNOW LATE IN THE CYCLE TOMORROW EVENING FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY: SOME RESTRICTIONS TO MVFR OR IFR IN
BANDS OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS 20-30 KNOTS AT
TIMES.
FRIDAY: VFR, STILL SOME ISOLATED NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS UP TO 20 KT.
SATURDAY: VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
GALE WARNING CONTINUES ON OUR WATERS WITH NO CHANGES. THERE COULD
BE SOME STORM FORCE GUSTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN WATERS EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING BUT CONFIDENCE WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE NOR DO WE
THINK THEY WILL BE PERSISTENT. SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD UPWARDS
OF 15 FEET ACROSS A MAJORITY OF OUR WATERS.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY: SCA WINDS WITH GALE GUSTS POSSIBLE. SEAS 5 TO 9 FEET.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT: SCA SEAS AND GUSTS CONTINUE
WITH LOW PRESSURE STILL TO NORTHEAST.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: NO HEADLINES EXPECTED.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
WE HAVE ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE I-95 CORRIDOR ZONES INCLUDING
PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY WHERE 2-3" OF RAIN IS EXPECTED TO FALL
THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. THE RAIN, HEAVY AT TIMES, WILL ADD TO THE
ALREADY WET ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW
FOR BETTER RUNOFF INTO AREAS STREAMS AND CREEKS AND SOME OF THE
SMALLER RIVERS...THE MAINSTEM RIVERS SHOULD REMAIN WITHIN THEIR
BANKS.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW IS PRODUCING TIDAL ANOMALIES BETWEEN 1.5
AND 2.0 FEET THIS AFTERNOON, AND WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW EXPECTED TO
INCREASE OVERNIGHT AS THE COASTAL LOW INTENSIFIES, THESE ANOMALIES
SHOULD INCREASE TOO. THE RATE OF INCREASE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
ANOMALIES WON/T BE FAST ENOUGH TO OVERCOME THE LOWER ASTRONOMICAL
CONTRIBUTION TO PRODUCE ANYTHING MORE THAN MINOR TIDAL FLOODING
FOR TONIGHT/S HIGH TIDE. HOWEVER, HIGH TIDE ON TUESDAY MORNING IS
A DIFFERENT STORY. THE HIGHER ASTRONOMICAL CONTRIBUTION, COMBINED
WITH HIGHER ANOMALIES (COMPARED WITH MONDAY MORNING), HIGHER SURF,
HEAVIER WAVE ACTION, AND HEAVY RAIN, SHOULD TIP TOTAL WATER
LEVELS INTO THE MODERATE CATEGORY, ESPECIALLY NORTH OF LEWES. THE
COASTAL FLOOD WATCH HAS THEREFORE BEEN UPGRADED TO A WARNING ALONG
THE ENTIRE NJ AND DE COASTS (INCLUDING THE BACK BAYS), AND THE
LOWER DELAWARE BAY. A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN RAISED FOR
THE UPPER DELAWARE BAY. ELEVATED WATER LEVELS ARE EXPECTED ON THE
TIDAL DELAWARE NORTH OF REEDY POINT, AND ON THE EASTERN SHORE OF
THE CHESAPEAKE BAY, BUT SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED, SO
NO ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED IN THESE AREAS.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT DBOFS, CBOFS, AND ETSURGE ARE INDICATING
ONLY MINOR TIDAL FLOODING, BUT THIS SEEMS UNREALISTIC GIVEN THE
EXPECTED STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AND RECENT FULL MOON.
