The nor'easter will primarily affect Southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the Cape with rain and gusty winds. Coastal areas may experience high surf with waves reaching 5 to 10 feet, though significant coastal flooding is not expected. Wind chills will make temperatures feel near freezing during morning commutes, particularly on Wednesday and Friday. The storm has a low chance (40%) of developing into a tropical system, according to the National Hurricane Center, but it is unlikely to become a named storm. Residents should prepare for frosty mornings and potential travel disruptions due to rain and wind.
