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.

Rockaway Beach flooding

High tides have brought several inches of water into neighborhoods due to coastal flooding near the Beach 60th station.

Commuters faced delays on Monday morning after wind caused a tree to fall onto the tracks, affecting the "A" train line on the Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue station. Service was suspended between Rockaway Blvd. and Broad Channel stations.

The tree was removed, and subway service resumed around 2:45 a.m., though delays continued. The MTA has blocked vents at 20 stops to prevent any potential underground flooding.

Eyewitness News spoke to residents in the area who have raised or modified their homes and hope the structures can withstand strong wind and heavy rain.
