Superstorm Sandy Delivers Major Blow to New Jersey
By Meghan Evans, Meteorologist
October 30,2012; 3:25PM,EDT
Sandy will bring locally drenching downpours across hard-hit New Jersey and surrounding states through tonight.
Portions of New Jersey will continue to receive pockets of rainfall that can hamper clean-up efforts through tonight.
Southeastern and south-central portions of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and northern Virginia will continue to receive locally heavy rainfall through tonight that might lead to localized flooding. Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., are among the cities that should watch for urban flooding issues from additional rainfall into tonight.
While floodwaters trickle downstream, moderate flooding is forecast on Wednesday along the Potomac River due to Sandy's rainfall, including near Washington, D.C., at Little Falls.
Winds will start to ease on Wednesday as well; however, it will remain breezy through the rest of the week with sustained winds of 10-20 mph and locally higher gusts.
It will feel chilly through late-week with a gusty breeze factored in, while thousands of people will likely still be dealing with power outages. Highs will be held in the 50s on Thursday and Friday with lows dipping into the upper 30s and lower 40s.
Sandy Batters Mid-Atlantic Region
Extensive flooding occurred in coastal areas of New Jersey and along the Atlantic coast of Maryland due to Sandy's storm surge on Monday.
"Iconic AC pier - destroyed!" tweeted Serena Marshall on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012.Besides destruction of famous piers and landmarks, significant beach erosion occurred along the New Jersey coast.
Minor storm surge flooding also occurred in the Chesapeake Bay. Early Tuesday at at high tide, minor tidal flooding was occurring around Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
While water surged toward the coast, torrential rainfall and high winds pounded the mid-Atlantic region.
Peak wind gusts include: 60 mph in Baltimore and Washington, D.C.; 88 mph in Montclair, N.J.; 81 mph in Allentown, Pa.; 79 mph in Highland Beach, Md.; and 79 mph in Chester Gap, Va.
Governor Christie said early Tuesday that there were 2.4 million customers with no electricity in New Jersey, twice the number of power outages caused by Irene in 2011.

US National Weather Summary for October 30,2012
Post Tropical Cyclone Sandy weakened on Tuesday, but brought more active weather to the Northeastern U.S. The center of the storm was located about 120 miles east-southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with maximum sustained winds at 45 mph. High wind advisories remained in effect from the Central Appalachians through the Great Lakes, while flood advisories remained in effect from the Upper Ohio River Valley through the Coast. Heavy rain spread further inland through the Ohio River Valley and Midwest. Mid-day rainfall totals for Tuesday ranged from 1.5 to 2.5 inches across the Midwest, while heavy snow showers persisted over the Central Appalachians. Blizzard conditions developed over high elevation of West Virginia and far eastern Kentucky as snow fall totals reached over 6 inches in some places, with wind gusts from 30 to 40 mph. Strongest winds and heaviest rainfall were both reported at Mt. Washington, New Hampshire with mid-day rainfall total up to 3.33 inches and wind gusts up to 107 mph.
To the west, Plains remained mild and dry as high pressure built in from the South. The Upper Midwest saw highs in the 40s, while the Southern Plains saw highs in the mid-70s. Further west, a trough of low pressure approached the Pacific Northwest and pushed moisture onshore from the Pacific Ocean. This created more rain and high elevation snow showers spread across Oregon and Washington.

The worst of the wind and storm surge flooding from Sandy has passed, but ongoing problems with travel disruptions, power outages and the mess to clean up continues.
Residents of coastal New Jersey and Long Island are dealing with the shock, and officials continue to assess the damage. Houses have been knocked off the foundation in Seaside Heights, N.J. Piers and boardwalks have been torn up along the mid-Atlantic coast. The sea wall in Narragansett, R.I., was damaged. Some areas were still under water Tuesday midday in the coastal Northeast.
NYC subway lines remained closed as well as the Path Train from New Jersey to NYC Tuesday. Storm surge entered tunnels during the height of Sandy Monday evening. Some below ground transit services could be out for days.
Normal flight operation is still "up in the air." More than 5,800 flights were cancelled Tuesday. LaGuardia, JFK, Newark and Teterboro airports remained closed to start the day. With many aircraft originating from or going to these airports, flight impacts will continue to be felt not only in the U.S., but overseas for days.

AccuWeather.com ForecastWhile the power will continue to be restored slowly as armies of crews continue the task, some additional power outages are possible with weakened trees and limbs succumbing to ongoing, locally gusty wind.
Showers will continue to rotate through the Northeast through the middle of the week.
As of the midday hours, Sandy had moved west of the battlefields of Gettysburg, Pa. The strongest winds associated with the storm were west of the center, over the Great Lakes and well northeast of the center, over northern New England.
With the center so far inland, tides will slowly return to normal levels through the day. With so much of the Atlantic Ocean brought to the coast, high tide cycles during the day Tuesday can still lead to minor coastal flooding problems, but not to the extent of Monday and Monday night.
A lack of strong west to northwest wind, which usually occurs following a big storm in the Northeast, will contribute to the slow progression of tides, rather than a blow-out tide cycle.
Sandy has pulled warm, unstable air into New England. The warmth combined with strong winds in the upper atmosphere can translate to locally gusty thunderstorms. A couple of these can bring brief, spin-up funnels.
Folks in northern New England should be thankful Sandy pushed westward as projected, rather than northward, like Irene did. Folks over the interior of the mid-Atlantic should be thankful cold air held on near the surface, forcing most of Sandy's damaging winds far over the heads of where most people live. Otherwise, the situation, as bad as it was on the coast, could have been much worse for inland areas.
Despite the cold air to the west, damaging wind gusts have been felt as far west as Great Lakes.
Runoff from torrential rainfall over portions of Maryland and southern Pennsylvania will lead to major flooding along the Potomac River later in the week.
Here are some of the statistics on Sandy...
A record high water level of 13.88 feet occurred at Battery Park, N.Y., Monday evening.

A near-record low barometric pressure occurred with Sandy offshore Monday afternoon. The pressure bottomed at 27.76 inches. For a storm north of Cape Hatteras, N.C., Hurricane Gladys of 1977 holds the record at 27.73 inches. Gladys was a Category 4 hurricane which remained off the coast of the U.S.
