Nor’easter weekend forecast: Which cities will be hit hardest? Boston vs New York City vs Jersey Shore
The National Weather Service (NWS) warned that dangerous conditions could persist into Saturday before the system begins weakening later in the day.
A powerful nor'easter is set to strike the U.S. Northeast over the weekend, with Boston, New York City, and the Jersey Shore among the cities most at risk. The storm is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding to the affected areas. Forecasters warned that dangerous conditions could persist into Saturday before the system begins to weaken.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued numerous warnings and advisories, including cancellation of events, travel advisories for residents on islands near Cape Cod, and evacuation notices for vulnerable coastal communities. Coastal flooding is anticipated to pose the most significant threat to the New Jersey shoreline, leading New Jersey and New York governors to declare states of emergency.
Strong winds of up to 60-65 mph are expected along the exposed coastal areas, while Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket may experience the strongest winds.
