Nov. 6, 2012 -- Damaging winds and coastal flooding that may tie up air traffic and hinder recovery efforts are forecast from Delaware to Massachusetts, including New York City and parts of New Jersey that were battered by Hurricane Sandy last week. Gusts as intense at 60 miles (97 kilometers) per hour may sweep across New York and New Jersey tomorrow, where cleanup operations following Sandy are still under way, as a new storm arrives, according to the National Weather Service. Flooding along the coast is expected from Delaware north to Connecticut, including New Jersey and Long Island, where tides may rise as much as 3 feet (1 meter) above normal.
“It just looks like the worst of the storm for the Northeast is going to be coastal New Jersey, the city and southern Long Island,” said Rob Carolan of Hometown Forecast Services Inc. in Nashua, New Hampshire. “The wind may cause some issues with weakened trees coming down and with power lines that had just been repaired.”
