US · Published Sep 23, 2026
A nor'easter is set to impact the U.S.
East Coast through the weekend, bringing coastal flooding, high surf, gusty winds, and rain.

Impact & Risks

The storm poses significant risks, including coastal flooding, beach erosion, and flash flooding in urban areas. The most severe flooding is expected from southern New Jersey to the northern Outer Banks of North Carolina, with repeated high-tide events potentially causing prolonged impacts. Heavy rain in coastal New England could exacerbate flooding, particularly in urban areas like Boston. Winds gusting over 50 mph may lead to downed tree limbs and power outages in areas such as Providence, Cape Cod, and Boston. Travel disruptions are likely, especially at major airports like Boston-Logan and New York City hubs, and on coastal roads prone to flooding.
