DescriptionThe combination of a large high pressure centered over eastern Canada, Hurricane Wilma, and the remnants of Tropical Storm Alpha offshore, and a cold front approaching from the great lakes resulted in the formation of a powerful hybrid coastal storm that quickly deepened just east of the Delmarva Peninsula. The resulting low brought with it strong onshore winds, moderate coastal flooding and severe erosion on all Atlantic facing beaches statewide. Sustained northeast winds peaked around 40 Knots early Monday morning, resulting in large breakers exceeding 12-feet along the New Jersey shore. The bureau of coastal engineering conducted a preliminary survey of the New Jersey coastline on Tuesday, October 25th, and again on Wednesday, October 26th, the cumulative results of which are attached to this report.
