Powerful Fall Nor’easter Threatens Northeast With Wind, Rain and Coastal Flooding

Millions across the Northeast are bracing for a powerful fall nor’easter expected to bring heavy rain, damaging winds, coastal flooding, and widespread travel disruptions through the weekend. The storm is strengthening offshore and could produce wind gusts near 60 mph along exposed shorelines. Several states have issued flood and high-wind alerts, while officials urge residents to secure outdoor items and avoid flooded roads. Forecasters expect conditions to ease gradually Sunday and Monday as the system weakens over the region.
