Powerful nor’easter to cause heavy rainfall, flooding and beach erosion along the East Coast

A powerful, week-long nor’easter event is taking shape along the East Coast. Rather than a quick-hitting storm, this system is expected to bring a prolonged period of severe beach erosion, pounding surf and compounding coastal flooding, days before the nor’easter even tracks northward. FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross is live with the latest on what residents can expect in the coming week.

THE TAKEAWAY

Days of dangerous conditions are expected through the workweek as a nor'easter develops.
The storm could bring high surf, strong winds, coastal flooding and severe beach erosion.
Impacts from the multiday storm could last through the weekend.

A brewing nor'easter has the potential to cause significant impacts as it batters the East Coast this week.

Parts of the East Coast will be battered by gusty winds and rain through the workweek as the first nor'easter of fall develops.

Some areas expected to see wind gusts up to 60 mph, with offshore waves reaching 15 to 18 feet.

The system started developing Monday and will continue through the weekend as a sharp fall cold front pushes off the coast, bringing rain to the Ohio Valley and parts of the Mid-Atlantic while strong high pressure builds to the north.
