Overview

  • Peak effects from Sunday night into Monday left lingering bands of rain and strong onshore flow, with the Monday afternoon high tide posing the greatest coastal inundation in some areas and 5–10 foot breakers along parts of New England.
  • Wind gusts reached about 60 mph at Surf City, New Jersey, and many coastal zones remained under wind advisories or warnings with 40–55 mph gusts across portions of New England.
  • Rainfall totals have generally ranged from 1 to 3 inches, with coastal hotspots at 2 to 4 inches and isolated reports near 5 inches, leading mainly to urban and poor‑drainage flooding.
  • Localized impacts included beach erosion, splashover and scattered power issues, including roughly 1,000 Atlantic City Electric customers without service late Sunday.
  • Guidance points to the low weakening and moving offshore with showers and breezes tapering Tuesday, followed by a cooler, quieter stretch midweek with highs largely in the 50s and 60s.
