A nor'easter is battering the Jersey Shore with waves of heavy rain and strong winds out of the northeast that could cause some minor coastal flooding.
This week's nor'easter isn't expected to be nearly as powerful as Sandy, however emergency management officials see it as vital in preparing them for any future storms that will be deadlier.
A Coastal Flood Advisory has been extended to include the entire Jersey Shore from Middlesex to Cape May counties as a storm with high winds and heavy rain continues to makes its way towards New Jersey.
