- Coastal flood warnings continue with moderate to minor flooding expected during Monday’s high tides, particularly in Ocean County where some back bays remain elevated.
- State offices are opening two hours late and several schools have delayed openings or closures as communities begin assessing damage from the weekend's tidal flooding.
