Rare September Nor’easter set to slam East Coast with heavy rain, damaging winds

Millions across the Northeast are bracing for an intense, multi-day Nor’easter this weekend that is forecast to bring heavy rain and strong wind gusts to the East Coast.
Forecast models still disagree on the storm’s exact track, but one thing is clear: wherever it goes, it will hit the region hard. Forecasters have high confidence in a long-duration onshore wind event that could bring significant coastal flooding.
Coastal flood warnings and high wind watches are already in place along much of the East Coast, with more alerts likely to be issued throughout the day Thursday.
