The storm is continuing to intensify south of the outer banks of North Carolina. A secondary storm is beginning to develop off of Delaware. This double-barreled low-pressure system should cut down on the amount of rain that collects but unfortunately might help increase wind speeds in gusts.

The next high tide along the Jersey shoreline occurs after 1 a.m. and then an hour or two later in the back bays. This will be a significant rise in tidal waters. The next high tide after that will occur around 1:30 p.m. Monday. This is expected to be the biggest and possibly most detrimental.

The storm is going to linger through most of Monday. The highest rainfall and gustiest wind reports will be along the immediate shoreline. The power could flicker in many New Jersey neighborhoods.

The nor'easter finally unwinds on Tuesday. The winds will let up and the sun will eventually burn through the cloud deck. As this maritime gale drifts away from the shoreline, it will also allow colder drier air from Canada to maneuver in behind it.

Sunny skies and cooler weather will play out for the remainder of the work/school week.
