FLASH FLOOD THREAT: Nor'easter Could Sweep US East Coast Region Through Wednesday...

A powerful nor'easter is moving toward the U.S. East Coast, bringing the risk of significant coastal flooding and severe weather across a broad region through midweek. These seasonal storms, which develop along the Atlantic seaboard and can persist for extended periods, often combine heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surge that poses particular danger to low-lying coastal areas and communities already saturated from recent precipitation. The timing and track of nor'easters make them especially challenging for forecasters and emergency managers, since their impacts can unfold over multiple days and affect millions of residents across multiple states. Coastal flooding during these systems can damage infrastructure, disrupt transportation, and create hazardous conditions even for inland areas experiencing heavy rain and gusty winds.
