Nor'easter to bring rain, strong winds and coastal flooding to East Coast
The nor’easter threatens gusts up to 60 mph and 2-4 inches of rain, risking power outages and flooding during the final Sukkos holiday days, officials said.
- Saturday's forecast shows a Nor'easter will impact the New York Tri-State area through Monday, with High Wind Watches issued for Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and coastal New Jersey.
- Meteorologists say the storm formed when cold air from land met warm, wet air from the ocean, causing a low-pressure system off the Southeast U.S. coast to develop Saturday and move north.
- A High Wind Watch warns gusts up to 60 mph are possible Sunday with coastal gusts 30 to 50 mph, and rainfall totals 3 to 5 inches in coastal North Carolina plus widespread rain totals 2–4 inches.
- Residents face immediate risks including winds above 25 mph shifting sukkahs and gusts toppling trees and power lines, while high tides and onshore flow may cause coastal flooding.
- Recent high tides illustrate broader impacts, with Charleston Harbor’s high tide 8.46 feet Friday flooding roads and the North Carolina Outer Banks losing 10 houses in the past month; the low should move east by Tuesday.
