Summary
Forecasters said Saturday the nor'easter could stall or loop between New Jersey and Long Island on Sunday, extending rain, coastal flooding and outage risks into late Monday even as the storm weakens.
1 to 3 more inches are expected across much of eastern and northern New Jersey, with some towns already seeing 1 to 2 inches Saturday and storm totals potentially reaching 4 to 5 inches.
Minor to moderate flooding is now favored over the more severe outlook, but repeated high-tide cycles are still expected to bring more coastal inundation because runoff will struggle to drain.
Eight New Jersey counties remain under a state of emergency after widespread Saturday morning tidal flooding, voluntary evacuations in some shore towns, beach erosion and tens of thousands of power outages.
