New Jersey declared a state of emergency Sunday as heavy rain accompanied by winds up to 60mph is expected to crash through the region as part of the approaching Nor'easter. The winds will persist into Monday afternoon. “The greatest effects are going to be the coastal flooding potential, especially for areas from northeastern North Carolina northward to much of the New Jersey coast,” said meteorologist Bob Oravec with the National Weather Service in College Park, Maryland. The National Weather Service placed New York City under a coastal flood warning and wind advisory through at least Monday afternoon. Coastal areas of suburban Long Island could see flooding, with up to 3 inches (about 8 centimeters) of rain and lashing winds expected, the weather service said. Newark Internationa
