New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow says that while the snow is done falling on Monday, there is still one more worrisome high-tide cycle. Both are expected to crest in the minor flood category along the Jersey Shore. That translates to "the usual spots," which tend to flood after most big storms.

Tuesday will be sunny but cold with high temperatures around 30. As for more snow, a clipper system will bring light snow with up to an inch of accumulation in North Jersey.
