episode_narrativeThe combination of a high pressure system over northern New England, a low pressure system moving northeast along the Atlantic seaboard and spring tides associated with the new moon produced minor tidal flooding during the morning high tide on the 13th. In the Atlantic City area, the Black Horse Pike was closed (U.S. Routes 40 and 322) and flooding was also reported on the White Horse Pike (U.S. Route 30). A few streets on the back bay side of Atlantic City were also flooded. In Manasquan (Monmouth County), around a foot of water inundated a couple of roads. The high tide in North Wildwood (Cape May County) reached 7.65 feet above mean lower low water and the high tide in Cape May reached 7.25 feet above mean lower low water. Minor tidal flooding starts at 6.7 feet above mean lower low water. A cold front moved through the Northeast on the 11th. A high pressure system then moved east and reached northern New England the morning of the 12th. Another high pressure system followed quickly behind and reinforced the surface flow that was in place. Meanwhile, a low pressure system formed on the old cold front in the lower Mississippi Valley during the morning of the 11th. It moved northeast and reached the southern Appalachians the morning of the 12th. It then move east to around Augusta, Georgia at 7 p.m. EST on the 12th, Norfolk, Virginia at 1 a.m. EST on the 13th and just east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts at 7 a.m. EST on the 13th. The flow around these two systems maintained a northeast flow throughout the night of the 12th and the flow did not back to the northwest quickly enough on the 13th to prevent minor tidal flooding from occurring.
