Nor'easter to Bring Heavy Rain and Strong Winds to New England

A powerful nor'easter is set to impact New England this weekend, with the worst conditions expected from Saturday night into Sunday morning. The storm, forming off the Mid-Atlantic coast, will bring heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal impacts to the region. Rainfall totals are expected to range from 3-5 inches in southeastern Massachusetts and Boston, with 1-2 inches in western Massachusetts and Vermont. Wind gusts could reach 50-60 mph along the coast and up to 40 mph inland.

The storm is expected to gradually weaken and move away by Monday. (Source: NBC Boston, published 2026-09-24 15:20 GMT)
