Nor’easter to Bring Strong Winds, Rain to DMV Coastline
US · Published Sep 24, 2026
A developing nor’easter is expected to impact the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly the coastal areas of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, this weekend.
The storm, which is being fueled by an active moisture feed associated with an El Niño weather pattern, will bring strong winds, heavy rain, and significant coastal impacts.

Impact & Risks

The primary impacts of the nor’easter will be felt along the coastal areas of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, where strong winds of 40-50 mph and wave heights of 6-12 feet are expected. These conditions could lead to significant beach erosion, storm surges, and coastal flooding, particularly during high tide cycles. Inland areas, including Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, will experience milder effects, such as gusty winds up to 30 mph and occasional rain showers. The storm is not expected to bring significant rainfall to these areas due to its offshore track.
