The nor'easter poses significant risks to coastal communities, including power outages, dangerous rip currents, and severe beach erosion. Southeastern Virginia, particularly areas like Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Newport News, is expected to face the worst flooding due to water being trapped at the lower end of the Chesapeake Bay. Coastal flooding will also heavily impact the northern Outer Banks and southern New Jersey shore. Southeastern New England, including Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and southern Maine, will experience the storm's peak impacts from September 25 through September 28. Travelers may face disruptions, with some airlines offering waivers for affected routes.
