Easter Egg Hunt Postposed Due To Inclement Weather In East Brunswick

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - The Easter egg hunt hosted by the local police department stands postponed due to inclement weather.

The East Brunswick Police Department is hosting an Easter egg hunt for the community on April 19, 12 p.m. at the Community Arte Center.

The event was earlier expected to take place on Saturday, but with rain moving into the Garden State, ushering in several days of dreary weather, the event was postponed.

The risk of coastal flooding and snow is high this weekend in New Jersey, according to the latest forecast.

It will be cold enough that some snow is possible in the higher elevations, though the risk of that is low in New Jersey, National Weather Service forecasters said.

The bulk of the precipitation will happen Friday and Saturday, forecasters say.

Enough rain could fall to cause some urban flooding, and the coastal flooding risk is present as well.

"In areas from near New Jersey and New York City to central New England and Boston, east to northeast breezes will last around 48 hours or so mainly from Thursday night to Saturday afternoon," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek said. "The duration of the onshore wind and the upcoming full moon (April 12) close to the same time will lead to coastal flooding at times of high tide." A thunderstorm is also possible.

Here's the latest forecast for the weekend:

• Saturday: Rain likely, mainly before 2 p.m. Cloudy, with a high near 43. Northeast wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch possible.
• Saturday Night: A chance of rain, mainly before 2 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 38. North wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts to less than a tenth of an inch possible.
• Sunday: Partly sunny, with a high near 57. North wind around 10 mph.
• Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 40.
