The nor’easter poses significant risks to coastal communities from North Carolina to New England. Coastal flooding, beach erosion, and dune damage are expected, particularly in low-lying areas and back bays. Wind gusts could reach 60-70 mph in southern New England, with waves as high as 15-18 feet along the coast. Vulnerable infrastructure, such as oceanfront boardwalks and coastal roads, may sustain damage. Dangerous rip currents and massive swells will make ocean waters hazardous. The storm could also disrupt transportation and cause localized power outages, especially in areas like Boston, Cape Cod, and the Massachusetts coastline.
