Rare September nor’easter Could Bring Coastal Flooding, Gusty Winds to the Northeast
- On Monday, meteorologists began tracking a developing storm off the East Coast that could become a significant nor'easter this week, bringing rain, wind, and coastal flooding to the region.
- A coastal low is forecast to strengthen Thursday and Friday as an upper-atmosphere disturbance interacts with the jet stream, potentially pushing the system closer to the Interstate 95 corridor.
- Wind gusts could reach 40 to 50 mph along the Atlantic Coast, while offshore waves may build to 15 to 18 feet, causing dangerous surf and potential beach erosion during multiple high-tide cycles.
- Starting Wednesday night, major flooding is expected across Hampton Roads, with inundation levels reaching 2 to 3 feet in vulnerable areas, according to the National Weather Service.
- Meteorologist Matt Lanza noted this rare September system may linger over the water and potentially transform into a hybrid or tropical system as it moves toward New England this weekend.
