The nor’easter poses significant risks to coastal communities in northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, including Nags Head and Virginia Beach. Coastal flooding could rise 2–3 feet above normal, with localized levels reaching 4–6 feet. Roads, such as Route 12 in the Outer Banks, may become impassable due to overwash. Beach erosion is expected to worsen with each high tide, and dangerous surf conditions could disrupt marine traffic. Areas farther north, including New Jersey and southern New England, may also experience coastal flooding and erosion depending on the storm’s trajectory.
