It may only be early October, but a nor'easter is now intensifying near the East Coast. Here are the forecast details, including potential for wind, rain and coastal flooding for days.
A powerful nor’easter moves along the East Coast where the worst impacts are expected to begin on Monday for the Northeast. Strong wind gusts could delay travel as some airports are already feeling impacts, with gusts already reaching 40 mph. Heavy rain is expected with chances of flooding, as many areas will see 1-3 inches of rain, with the Boston area forecast for 3-5 inches. Coastal flood warnings and advisories extend from Virginia Beach to Boston, with many coastal gauges forecasted to go into major flood stage. Watch for the latest forecast.
The Weather Channel’s Alex Wilson reports live from the Jersey Shore where winds are already gusting up to 40 mph. Wilson says they could go as high as 50 to 60 mph as a powerful nor'easter charges up the East Coast.
