Impact & Risks

The nor’easter poses significant risks to coastal communities, including widespread flooding, beach erosion, and travel disruptions. Areas along the I-95 corridor may experience difficult driving conditions, while airports in the region could face delays. High tides are expected to exacerbate flooding in low-lying areas, particularly in Annapolis, Alexandria, and parts of Washington, D.C. Beach communities under Coastal Flood Warnings are bracing for severe impacts, including potential property damage and hazardous conditions along the shoreline.
