There will be moderate to severe beach erosion during this event, according to the National Weather Service
“This nor’easter will have greater impact than usual because of the serious impacts from Coastal Storm Sandy.”
Moderate coastal flooding is possible on Delaware Bay. Waves in surf zone along the Atlantic Coast will be 8 to 10 feet.
Impact from coastal flooding and strong wave action will be worsened due to effects of Coastal Storm Sandy. Dunes have been weakened or washed away; bulkheads damaged or destroyed.
