episode_narrativeThe combination of spring tides and a persistent onshore flow produced pockets of minor tidal flooding along the New Jersey coast, in Delaware and Raritan Bay and tidal sections of the Delaware River. In Monmouth County, three vehicles were disabled and one was damaged by flooding along Brielle Road in Manasquan Borough. The road was barricaded as was access to the Glimmer Glass Bridge. Highest tides, all above mean lower low water, included 8.16 feet in Keansburg (Monmouth County), 7.39 feet in Sandy Hook (Monmouth County) 7.20 feet at Reedy Island (New Castle County, Delaware) and Cape May Harbor (Cape May County), 7.00 feet in Stone Harbor (Cape May County), 6.97 feet in Margate (Atlantic County), 6.95 feet in Sea Isle City (Cape May County), 6.88 feet in Avalon (Cape May County), 6.72 feet in Absecon (Atlantic County) and 6.55 feet in Atlantic City (Atlantic County). A cold front moved through New Jersey during the night of the 16th. A large high pressure system moved across New England on the 17th and into the Canadian Maritimes on the 18th. Meanwhile, a weakening low pressure system moved from Illinois the morning of the 17th into Indiana during the evening of the 17th. The pressure difference between the two systems produced an onshore flow. Tides were already higher than normal due to the recent full moon. The low pressure system weakened further on the 18th and the high pressure system moved into the Canadian Maritimes and then offshore. This reduced the onshore flow.
