Nor'easter brings coastal flooding and high winds to East Coast
A developing nor'easter is expected to impact the East Coast of the United States this week, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and significant coastal flooding. Persistent onshore winds are trapping water in the lower Chesapeake Bay and Jersey Shore back bays, leading to elevated flood risks. Coastal flood advisories are in effect from South Jersey to Virginia, with major flooding anticipated starting Wednesday night. Wind gusts of 40-50 mph and high astronomical tides are expected to exacerbate the situation, particularly in areas like Norfolk, Philadelphia, and New York City. The storm's severity in New York City depends on its final track, with potential for heavy rain, wind gusts up to 50 mph, and storm surges.
