A nor’easter is expected to hit the East Coast through Sunday night, bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds. Long Island and the Jersey Shore are forecasted to receive between 4 to 8 inches of rain with wind gusts reaching up to 80 mph, while New York City will see 2 to 4 inches of rain. The storm could cause major coastal flooding and severe beach erosion due to high astronomical tides and strong northeast winds. Additionally, there is a risk of downed trees and power outages throughout the affected areas as the ground remains saturated from previous rainfall. Governor Kathy Hochul has issued warnings about potential impacts in New York City.

Story summary
A powerful nor'easter is hitting the East Coast of the United States, affecting millions from North Carolina to Maine, and possibly disrupting flights along the Northeast coast. The storm started impacting North Carolina's Outer Banks on Thursday, causing water surges that washed out parts of the main highway connecting barrier islands. By Saturday through Monday, windy rain showers will intermittently affect areas from New Jersey to Maine, with wind gusts up to 40 to 50 mph recorded along the Mid-Atlantic coast and moving north by the weekend. Higher totals of 2-to-6 inches of rain are expected from New Jersey to Boston and Long Island, New York, leading to potential coastal flooding, large waves, and beach erosion in these regions.
