The Jersey Shore may soon see strong winds from a storm and high tides from a full moon, conditions that could create more beach erosion.

A winter weekend can feel routine until the wind starts sounding like it is dragging something heavy across the siding and the driveway that looked “fine for now” turns into a rutted, refreezing obstacle course.

A "bomb cyclone" looks to avoid our area in terms of significant snow, but could bring coastal wind and flooding impacts.

The largest nontropical bomb cyclone on record since 1958 struck over the northern Pacific Ocean on New Year’s Eve from 2020 into 2021.

Wednesday afternoon's advisory from the weather service called for continued arctic cold for the region and the potential for at least three inches of snow Sunday into Sunday night, much of it across the twin forks of Long Island. It said the storm could also bring winds at least 45 mph winds.

Delaware is likely to miss major impacts from the bomb cyclone, but freezing temperatures and high winds are still forecasted for the weekend.

It does not appear that the storm will track close enough to New England to deliver what could have been, a devastating and destructive blow.

This weekend will offer the most frigid weather of this historically long cold snap, which will only ease slightly next week.
