Rare September nor’easter Could Bring Coastal Flooding, Gusty Winds to the Northeast
Models diverge on a coastal storm that could bring up to 2 inches of rain, 50 mph gusts and some coastal flooding.
- A potent coastal system is set to materialize midweek off the Mid-Atlantic coast, threatening New England by Friday with the potential to develop into a rare September nor'easter.
- Strong high pressure over Canada is squeezing air between the fledgling storm and the high, increasing wind speeds along the East Coast. A surface front stalls off the Mid-Atlantic coast on the jet stream's eastern side.
- Coastal flooding is a lock this week due to the full moon and higher tides, which could push water 2 to 3 feet higher than normal. Gusty winds up to 50 mph near Cape Cod are possible, with pockets of heavy rain.
- Weather models remain divided on the track, with The Euro model pulling the storm tighter to the coast, while The GFS, ICON, and UKMet models predict it will pull farther away.
- The storm could loiter just off the coast into next week, prolonging impacts as saturation issues worsen. Parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic soaked in recent weeks may struggle to absorb even moderate rain without triggering further flooding.
