Rare September nor’easter to impact US East Coast with hurricane-like conditions
US · Published Sep 25, 2026
• A rare September nor’easter is forecast to bring hurricane-like conditions to parts of the US East Coast starting Friday.
• The National Weather Service (NWS) warns of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding, particularly in New England.

Impact & Risks

The storm poses significant risks to coastal communities, including flooding, erosion, and wind damage. Trees with full foliage are more susceptible to being toppled by strong winds, increasing the risk of power outages and property damage. Coastal flooding could worsen due to the full moon, which will elevate high tides. Vulnerable areas along Long Island and New England may see roads and homes inundated by water. Older roofs and structures are particularly at risk from wind and debris.
