A brewing nor’easter is expected to bring wet and windy weather to New Jersey for few days starting mid-week along with the threat of beach erosion at the Jersey Shore.
The National Weather Service notes uncertainty about the timing and rainfall totals from the storm still a few days away.
“The setup favors a storm, however the details regarding its strength and exact track remain uncertain,” the National Weather Service said Sunday afternoon. “While timing still needs to be settled on, the main focus for rain and stronger winds looks to be late Wednesday night through Thursday night.”

This system could also bring an extended period of gusty winds from Wednesday through Saturday, which would include Halloween trick-or-treating on Friday night.
Multiple days of gusty winds could cause some concerns at the Jersey Shore.
“Given the onshore flow which increases to gale force for a period of time, already sensitive coastal/back bay communities due to the coastal storm a few weeks ago may experience strong winds, coastal flooding and potentially significant beach erosion,” the weather service said.
