Weather forecast today: How will the latest nor’easter impact Atlantic City as high tides continue?

The weather is still unsettled in Atlantic City today as the nor’easter that hit the Northeast continues to move away. The storm has already brought flooding, strong winds, rough surf and beach erosion across parts of the East Coast. Now, coastal areas around Atlantic City are dealing with another round of high tides and the risk of more flooding, as per a report by The Guardian and ABC7 NY.

For Monday, Sept. 28, the National Weather Service is calling for a chance of showers, mainly before noon. Skies will stay cloudy, with a high near 66 degrees. A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.

The storm is expected to weaken, but that does not mean coastal problems will disappear right away.

Atlantic City weather today stays wet and windy

The nor’easter has already caused major problems along the New Jersey coast. Floodwater moved into low-lying communities, while strong winds and large waves battered the shoreline. Some areas saw serious beach erosion, and power outages affected thousands of customers across the region.

Atlantic City is also dealing with the effects of the storm and high tides.

The National Weather Service says Monday could bring another round of showers, with northwest winds around 10 mph. The chance of rain is about 30% during the day. By Monday night, the temperature could fall to around 58 degrees.

The ocean conditions should also slowly settle. The marine forecast calls for seas around 2 to 3 feet Monday, a sign that conditions are expected to improve from the rougher weather seen during the weekend.

High tide remains a concern along the coast

Even as the storm weakens, high tide is still something coastal residents need to watch. Tidal flooding has been a major part of this storm. In New Jersey communities, water returned with each high-tide cycle instead of disappearing after one round.

For Atlantic City, the Monday morning high tide is expected around 8:58 a.m., with another high tide around 9:21 p.m.

The National Weather Service has classified the expected Monday morning total tide at Atlantic City as minor flooding.

The weekend storm also caused problems well beyond Atlantic City. More than 100,000 customers across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic lost power at one point, while flooding and strong winds affected communities from New Jersey into New England.

The forecast should improve after today. Tuesday is expected to be mostly sunny in Atlantic City, with a high near 70 degrees. Wednesday should be mostly sunny as well, with temperatures reaching around 72 degrees.

For now, though, Atlantic City residents should expect a cloudy Monday, some showers and continued coastal flooding concerns as the nor’easter finally loses its grip.
