New York, Boston Brace for Weekend Nor'easter With Winds Up to 70mph
Forecasters warn the season's first such storm could bring flooding, beach erosion and power outages across New England.
New York, Boston and much of New England are bracing for a weekend nor'easter that could bring wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour in some areas, according to the Guardian.
Forecasters warned that the storm, the first of its kind since fall officially began this week, could cause significant impacts including beach erosion, flooding and power outages across the region.
The effects of the storm could last through the weekend, particularly if the weather system remains swirling off the coast rather than moving away quickly, a scenario meteorologists say is increasingly likely based on current forecasts.
Nor'easters are a recurring seasonal weather pattern for the US Northeast, typically forming along the coast and drawing moisture from the Atlantic Ocean to produce heavy rain, strong winds and, in colder months, snow.
The Guardian's report did not specify exact rainfall totals expected or which specific coastal communities face the highest risk of flooding and erosion.
