BOSTON: The powerful coastal storm moving along the East Coast is set to bring high winds to New Jersey, where some rain is already switching to wet snow in some areas.
The National Weather Service says winds are expected to increase drastically during the day, peaking Friday afternoon. Gusts of 50 mph to 60 mph are expected, as are downed trees and power lines.
Some flights have already been canceled at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Significant snow accumulation is expected at higher elevations in northwest New Jersey and the Poconos.
The storm could take a chunk out of Jersey shore beaches that are still being repaired following damage from previous storms.
There's no guarantee that all the sand that washes away over the next few days will be replaced.
