The mammoth winter storm pounding the East Coast isn't just bringing snow and blizzard conditions with it: Coastal flooding is affecting states from Virginia up to New England, bringing record surges Saturday morning.

A full moon this weekend meant high tides were already naturally running higher than normal. The fierce winds, particularly in the mid-Atlantic, worsened conditions. The areas of greatest concern were the southern half of the Jersey Shore, Delaware and the coast of Maryland, The Weather Channel reported.

The National Weather Service issued coastal flood warnings from the Outer Banks of North Carolina all the way up to Long Island, as well as the New York and Connecticut shores of Long Island Sound. Minor to moderate coastal flooding is expected, plus localized major coastal flooding in some locations, The Weather Channel said.
There's also a chance of moderate coastal flooding along the south shore of Massachusetts Bay, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island.
