The nor'easter poses significant risks to coastal communities in New York City, Long Island, and southern New Jersey. High winds of up to 70 mph could lead to power outages and property damage. Coastal flooding and storm surge may result in structural damage and erosion along beaches. Rainfall totals could exceed 3 inches in some areas, increasing the risk of localized flooding. If the storm tracks closer to the coast, the impacts will be more severe, particularly for New York City and Long Island. Offshore wave heights are expected to reach 15 to 18 feet, further exacerbating coastal hazards.
