  "account": "A powerful nor easter is expected to bring significant weather impacts to the Northeastern United States this weekend. Waves up to 19 feet have already been recorded along North Carolina's Outer Banks, with waves up to 12 feet possible from the Outer Banks to the New Jersey shore. Coastal flood alerts are in effect from the Outer Banks to Maine, with some areas likely to see flood inundation up to 3 feet above normal levels. Strong winds are a major concern, with dangerous gusts up to 60 mph possible along the Jersey Shore, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts coasts. New York City may experience wind gusts of 40-to-50 mph. The storm is expected to hit peak strength on Saturday before weakening on Sunday as it stalls over New Jersey. Rain is forecast to move in Saturday morning, falling from New Jersey to Massachusetts throughout the day. By Sunday, the rain will become more scattered, but wet conditions will persist from Washington, D.C., to Maine. The nor easter will weaken on Monday and die out on Tuesday. Nor easters are named for the typical northeast winds they bring, and these storms are most frequent and violent between September and April. They typically bring heavy rain or snow, gale-force winds, rough seas, and coastal flooding.",
