NEW YORK (WABC) -- A nor'easter hitting the Tri-State is bringing excessive rain, damaging winds and coastal flooding.
Coastal flooding is expected during multiple high tide cycles through Monday as a prolonged onshore flow from our nor'easter combines with already high astronomical tides. The greatest threat for major, damaging flooding will be along Great South Bay (L.I.) and Barnegat Bay (NJ).
High Wind Warnings were dropped on Monday morning, but Coastal Flood Warnings remain for New York and New Jersey.
