Nor’easter to Bring Coastal Flooding to Massachusetts
A powerful fall nor’easter is set to impact Massachusetts starting Friday, September 25, and continuing through the weekend. The storm is expected to bring hazardous coastal conditions, including strong winds, heavy rain, and significant beach erosion. A coastal flood watch and high surf advisory have been issued from Friday through Sunday as the storm churns offshore. Waves ranging from 6 to 17 feet are forecast to batter the coastline, with minor coastal flooding expected during high tide cycles. Inland areas will experience wet and windy weather, with rainfall totals ranging from 1 to 2 inches, while coastal regions, including Cape Cod and the Islands, could see 2 to 6 inches of rain. The storm is expected to gradually weaken by Monday, September 28, as it moves away from New England. Source time: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 19:00:58 GMT.
