A ‘Full-Fledged’ nor’easter Could Bring Heavy Rain, Wind and Coastal Flooding to the East Coast This Weekend
A non-tropical low is expected to cause heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding along the East Coast, with models showing strong agreement on its development.
- On Friday a non-tropical low-pressure system is likely to develop off the Carolina coast and could linger through the weekend, threatening the East Coast from the Carolinas up to southern New England.
- Steering from a North Atlantic high pressure could pull the system close to the mid-Atlantic, and development over the Gulf Stream may give it tropical traits despite the coastal low's frontal boundary origin.
- Forecasters warn of strong winds and heavy rain, with dangerous surf expected for residents and coastal communities from the Carolinas to the mid-Atlantic, including gusts up to 50 mph on the Outer Banks and flash-flood risks in parts of the Carolinas and Virginia.
- FOX Weather Meteorologist Kiyana Lewis warned `We have a couple of vulnerable spots that we need to be mindful of here, one of which is the Outer Banks`, where nine houses have collapsed this year and at least seven since September 30 in Buxton, North Carolina.
- Uncertainty about the storm's track means impacts could shift north or intensify, and AccuWeather said, `This scenario could bring heavy, tropical rain as far west as the Virginia and Pennsylvania Appalachians and even into southern New England by Sunday afternoon`.
