Rare September Nor’easter to Hit Massachusetts
A rare September nor’easter is forecast to impact Southern New England starting late Friday afternoon, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, coastal flooding, and beach erosion. The storm is expected to intensify as an area of low pressure develops over the Atlantic, just offshore of Virginia, on Thursday. Heavy rain and gusty winds will affect areas from southern Maine through Boston, Cape Cod, and southern Rhode Island. The storm is predicted to linger through the weekend, with its center of circulation remaining south of Long Island due to expansive high pressure to the north and northeast. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to flooding and erosion as the storm progresses.
