Nor’easter to Bring Heavy Rain and Winds to New England
A significant nor’easter is set to impact New England this weekend, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and the potential for coastal flooding and power outages. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), nor’easters are storms that move along the East Coast of North America, with winds typically blowing from the northeast. These storms can occur year-round but are most frequent and intense between September and April. The current system is expected to develop near Georgia or New Jersey before intensifying as it moves northeast toward New England and Canada’s Maritime Provinces. Historically, nor’easters have caused billions of dollars in damage and significant disruptions to transportation and daily life, particularly in the densely populated I-95 Corridor from Washington, D.C., to Boston.
