Nor'easter Weakens, Flooding Persists in New Jersey
A powerful nor'easter that impacted the East Coast over the weekend is now weakening as it moves away from New Jersey. The storm brought damaging winds, heavy rainfall, coastal flooding, and beach erosion, prompting New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill to declare a state of emergency for eight counties. Voluntary evacuations were issued in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, where roads were flooded. While the system is dissipating, flooding remains a concern during high tide, particularly in bays, harbors, and sounds. The storm's effects are expected to linger in the Northeast through Monday, with dry weather returning afterward. Meanwhile, Hurricane Polo is heading toward Baja California, and Hawaii continues to experience residual impacts from Hurricane Nolo.
