Hurricane Erin spares New Jersey but coastal flood warnings remain through weekend

Trenton, NJ — Hurricane Erin moved past New Jersey without making landfall, but forecasters warn that coastal flooding and rough surf will continue into the weekend, especially along vulnerable shorelines and tidal waterways.

A coastal flood warning remains in effect until 2 a.m. Saturday for Ocean, Atlantic, and southeastern Burlington counties. Meteorologists say water could rise one to two feet above ground level in low-lying areas, making many coastal roads impassable and potentially damaging vulnerable structures. Partial or full road closures are possible in bayside communities and inland tidal waterways.

Despite the coastal hazards, inland conditions will be calm and seasonable. Friday brings sunny skies with highs near 82 and lows around 58 overnight. Saturday will be sunny and slightly warmer, reaching 84 degrees, with a mostly clear night and lows in the mid-60s.

On Sunday, the chance of unsettled weather increases. Forecasters predict a slight chance of showers in the afternoon with highs in the mid-80s. Rain chances grow to 40% Sunday night, though precipitation amounts are expected to remain light.

Beachgoers and coastal residents are advised to remain alert to flooding risks, especially during high tide cycles.


Key Points

  • Hurricane Erin passed offshore but left behind dangerous surf and coastal flood risks.
  • A coastal flood warning is in effect until early Saturday for parts of Ocean, Atlantic, and Burlington counties.
  • The weekend forecast calls for sunny conditions Saturday, with rain chances increasing on Sunday.

New Jersey avoided a direct hit from Hurricane Erin, but coastal communities are still facing flood risks and rough surf.
