Nor’easter Lifts North, Targeting Mid-Atlantic and New England Coasts Late Sunday Into Monday

Forecasters expect the worst impacts at the beaches, with hazardous surf plus pockets of tidal flooding.

Overview

  • Steadier rain and stronger onshore winds concentrate along the immediate coast from late Sunday night into Monday, while inland areas see lighter, more scattered showers.
  • Rainfall totals are forecast near 1 to 2 inches or higher at the shoreline, tapering to roughly 0.3 to 0.75 inch across interior mid-Atlantic locations north and west of I-95.
  • Peak gusts along the coast are expected around 30 to 50 mph, with breezes commonly 20 to 30 mph farther inland.
  • High surf, a high rip current risk, beach erosion, and periods of minor to locally moderate tidal flooding are prompting coastal advisories and marine warnings.
  • Temperatures run cool with highs mainly in the 50s and 60s, and showers may linger into Monday before gradual improvement Tuesday, though exact local impacts depend on the low’s near-shore track.
