PHILADELPHIA -
We've seen plenty of rain and wind, especially down the shore,
over the past 12 hours.
Ultimate Doppler Rafter this morning shows the last of the
showers are starting to push off the New Jersey coastline. We've got winds from
the north really moving in, and that's going to bring some relief probably
later on today.
But, in the meantime, the damage has already been done with
the flooding.
Coastal Flood Warnings remain in effect for all of New Jersey
and Delaware. That is until 9 a.m. on Friday.

So for anyone along the shoreline who has already seen some
flooding, there are additional times of concern as high tides continue to move
in later today and then overnight.
The high tide will be shortly before 4 p.m. for Atlantic City
and hour later for Cape May, and an hour after that for the Delaware beaches. We'll
have an additional high tide overnight tonight, around 4 or 5 a.m.
Video and photos sent to UREPORT on myfoxphilly.com showed flooded roads and heavy rain in Ocean City, Wildwood and other areas.
Even though it looks like it is starting to dry out today, more showers
might spin back in later this afternoon. Wind gusts are still between 30 and 40
mph across the area.
Conditions will remain pretty brisk, with temperatures steady
in the low- to mid-40s, and we won't see much warming until the weekend.
Snow showers are actually in the forecast for later on
tonight. We know it is hard to believe, at this point, but it doesn't look like
anything that will accumulate much.
Rain and snow showers may even linger into Friday.
Once the weekend comes, we'll finally see a change and some
nice spring-like temperatures to go along with it.
We're expecting temperatures of 52 on Saturday with sunshine,
and 57 on Sunday. Some of us could even hit 60 degrees. If we don't on Sunday,
we look to Monday, which will be very mild out ahead of some rain, which comes
in on Tuesday.
Things dry out a bit Wednesday, when it will be a little
cooler at 50 degrees.
Don't
forget, we spring forward with our clocks by one hour over the weekend, losing
an hour of sleep but gaining an extra hour of daylight starting Sunday.
Several power lines were knocked down due to high winds in Stone Harbor Wednesday.
