Ranked by deaths, injuries, damage and size together.
- High Wind and Strong Wind in New Jersey, March 6 to 7, 1997A rapidly intensifying low pressure system and the pressure difference between it and a high pressure system over the Upper Plains caused strong to locally damaging winds in New Jersey.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, December 15 to 16, 2016Strong northwesterly wind gusts up to 50-55 mph in the wake of an arctic cold front resulted in Low Water/Blowout Tides along the New Jersey shore during the overnight hours of December 15th into the morning of the 16th.
- Winter Weather and Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, December 8 to 9, 2017An area of low pressure moving up the east coast brought periods of snow to the state on the afternoon and evening hours of December 10th. Locations along the coast were warm enough to mix with sleet and rain.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 25 to 26, 2012Strong west winds circulating around an intense low pressure system moving through the Canadian Maritimes (it bottomed at 963 millibars at 1 p.m.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 20 to 21, 2015The combination of persistent northwest winds and spring tides following the new moon caused blowout tides on the tidal Delaware River and its tidal tributaries as well as upper Delaware Bay with both low tide cycles on the 20th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, January 8 to 9, 2009A potent pair of storms moved through the Mid Atlantic and Northeast during the 7th and into the 8th. One potent storm moved across the eastern Great Lakes region during the evening of the 7th, while a secondary potent storm developed along a front off the New Jersey coast.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 19 to 20, 2011The strong to high northwest winds that occurred throughout the day caused blowout tides to occur along the New Jersey coast as well as in Delaware Bay and tidal sections of the Delaware River and its tributaries during the late afternoon and evening low tide cycle on the 19th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, December 11 to 12, 2009Two days of persistent strong westerly offshore flow resulted in blow out tides during the evening low tide on the 11th along the Atlantic Coast and the overnight low tide in Delaware Bay and the lower Delaware River.
- Winter Weather and Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, December 20 to 21, 2024A progressive upper / mid level trough lead to low pressure moving across the Ohio Valley with a secondary low developing just off the coast.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 11, 2008Persistent and strong west to northwest winds caused blowout tide conditions to occur at times of low tide in Delaware Bay and along the ocean during both low tides on the 11th. The lowest tides occurred with the late afternoon and early evening low tide on the 11th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, December 29, 2009The combination of the strong northwest winds during the day on the 29th and the larger tide ranges associated with the approaching full moon spring tides produced blowout tides during the late morning into evening low tide on the 29th along tidal sections of the Delaware River…
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, January 3, 2010The strong and persistent offshore flow coupled with the recent full moon caused blow out tides at the times of low tide along coastal areas of Middlesex and Monmouth Counties with both low tides on the 3rd and along coastal areas of Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May Counties with…
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 16 to 17, 2007A persistent northwest to west flow following the winter storm on February 13th and 14th culminated in blow-out tides around the times of low tide from the late morning of the 16th into the early morning of the 17th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 4 to 5, 2007A persistent northwest flow started on February 4th and continued into February 6th. This caused blowout tides in Delaware Bay and along the Ocean on the 4th and 5th during the times of low tides. The lowest tides occurred with the early morning low tide on the 5th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, March 6, 2007The continued strong west to northwest winds from the 5th into the 6th produced blow out tides on the 6th during the afternoon and early evening low tide along the ocean and Delaware Bay.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, January 7, 2014The very persistent and strong west winds that started during the day on the 6th caused blowout tide conditions during the early evening low tide cycle on the 7th along Raritan Bay and the ocean front in New Jersey.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, December 31, 2008The persistent and strong west to northwest offshore flow caused blowout tides to occur in upper Delaware Bay as well as along tidal sections of the Delaware River during the evening low tide on the 31st.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, January 2 to 4, 2010The strong and persistent offshore flow coupled with the recent full moon caused blow out tides at the times of low tide along tidal sections of the Delaware River and its tributaries as well as upper Delaware Bay from the evening of the 2nd into the overnight of the 3rd.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 15 to 16, 2015The very persistent and strong to damaging northwest winds that started overnight on the 14th caused blowout tide conditions during the three subsequent low tide cycles from the early morning of the 15th through the morning of the 16th on the tidal Delaware River and tidal…
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 19, 2007A renewed northwest flow coupled with the astronomical spring (low) tides around the new moon caused blow-out tides around the times of the afternoon low tide on the 19th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 19, 2007A renewed strong northwest flow coupled with the astronomical spring (low) tides around the new moon caused blow-out tides around the times of the morning low tide on the 19th. The low tide In Philadelphia reached 2.53 feet below mean lower low water.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 16 to 17, 2007A persistent northwest to west flow following the winter storm on February 13th and 14th culminated in blow-out tides around the times of low tide during the late afternoon and early evening of the 16th and the morning of the 17th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 5 to 6, 2007A persistent northwest flow started on February 4th and continued through February 6th. This caused blowout tides along the Delaware River and its tributaries starting with the day time low tide on February 5th and persisted through the morning low tide on February 6th.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, March 6 to 7, 2007The continued strong west to northwest winds from the 5th into the 6th produced blow out tides during the morning and evening low tides on the 6th along the Delaware River. The lowest tides occurred during the morning low tide.
- Astronomical Low Tide in New Jersey, February 10 to 12, 2008Persistent and strong west to northwest winds caused blowout tide conditions to occur at times of low tide along the Delaware River and tidal sections of its tributaries from the evening low tide on the 10th through the overnight low tide on the 11th.
