New Jersey declared a state of emergency Sunday as heavy rain accompanied by winds up to 60mph is expected to crash through the region as part of the approaching Nor'easter. The winds will persist into Monday afternoon.

A powerful nor’easter began pushing its way through the Philadelphia metro area on Sunday, keeping streets wet, winds strong and waters elevated along the shores and tidal rivers.

Storm winds have battered New Jersey over the last few days, leaving some residents stranded and without power.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Coastal Flood Warning for parts of New Jersey, in effect until 8 p.m. EDT Monday.

“In a town setting, when you can get a large industrial building that you can convert to a home is very desirable and not that frequent because there aren’t very many available,” Bernstein said. “Most homes in Lambertville are smaller. This is a very large property that’s stand alone.”

In Atlantic City, police are looking into the homicide of Christina Burdette, discovered in her home, as they seek tips about her last days.

More than half of New Jersey’s coastline is still at risk of major flooding, the most severe classification through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), on Monday amid a vicious coastal storm battering the East Coast.

The greatest threat, though, remains coastal flooding. At the high tide cycle this afternoon, generally between 1 and 2 p.m., we will expect major coastal flooding with as much as 3 feet of water covering roadways.
