Nor’easter Threatens Coastal Flooding and Heavy Rain Along US East Coast
An early fall nor’easter is strengthening along the central East Coast of the United States, bringing heavy surf, coastal flooding, and rain to several states. The storm is expected to impact areas from North Carolina to New England through the weekend. Coastal flooding is already underway in the Mid-Atlantic, with high tides exacerbated by the full moon. Forecast models predict significant impacts in New England, particularly in Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, where up to 5 inches of rain may fall.
