The farther north along the coast, such as in eastern Massachusetts, the lesser the likelihood of coastal flooding and beach erosion as this region will be farther removed from the storm's strongest winds. "Areas prone to taking on water during wintertime nor'easters such as Wildwood, New Jersey, and Norfolk, Virginia, will likely experience similar conditions through the first half of this week," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.

"This can lead to beach erosion and some coastal flooding around times of high tide.
