There\u2019s good news and bad news in the forecast, meteorologists said Thursday. The bad news is that a nor\u2019easter is on the way which could bring heavy rain, high winds and some coastal flooding to the Shore area. But the good news is that there is no snow in the forecast and the moon phase lends itself to a lower level flooding event.<\/p>\n

The impending coastal storm is forecast to move in early Sunday, bringing rain and high winds of 40 m.p.h. or more to the region. The temperature is forecast remain just above 50 degrees, meaning neither snow nor ice will fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also in between the full and new moon, so tidal flooding should be much less compared with what Jonas brought,\u201d Press of Atlantic City meteorologist Dan Skelon wrote on his popular social media page<\/a>, referencing a nor\u2019easter that hit the state one year ago this weekend. That storm brought more than a foot of snow, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d say at the very least prepare for minor tidal flooding,\u201d said forecaster Nick \u201cNor\u2019Easter\u201d Pittman<\/a> of SNJ Today. \u201cTiming of highest winds is crucial as if we get a northeast wind for a decent period, we\u2019d see \u201cstacking\u201d of the back bays.\u201d<\/p>\n

The storm is forecast to linger through much of the day Monday before pulling out of the Shore area. Mild temperatures will continue through next week but cold air is then forecast to move in.<\/p>\n
