Nor'easter to Add to Post-Sandy Misery
Tuesday night / Early Wed Morning
- Low pressure intensifies near the coast of North Carolina
- Sustained northeast winds of at least 20 mph spread up the coast including the Jersey Shore, Long Island, and coastal New England at least as far north as Cape Cod by daybreak.
- Some coastal flooding is possible in the northern Outer Banks of N.C.
- Rain will also spread up the coast, including the Jersey shore. The heaviest rain Tuesday night will be in far eastern North Carolina (Outer Banks) and, perhaps, southeast Virginia.
Wednesday
- Peak impact begins for Northeast, including Sandy-impacted areas
- Low pressure intensifies and moves slowly from off Outer Banks of N.C. to off Delmarva Peninsula/south Jersey shore by late afternoon.
- Sustained winds of at least 30 mph spread north from Delmarva Peninsula, Jersey shore, and eastern Long Island in the morning to eastern shore of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Wind gusts over 60 mph seem most likely from Cape Cod into Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and eastern Long Island. Occasional gusts over 50 mph are possible in New York City and Boston. Gusts along the Jersey shore should primarily be in the 40-50 mph range. Additional power outages are expected.
- Coastal flooding is expected at high tide, mainly along northern and northeast-facing beaches, but will be much lower than the magnitude of Sandy's coastal flooding.
- Heavy rain will soak the Delmarva Peninsula, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the New York City metro, spreading north into southern New England. These areas should expect to see at least 1 inch of rain during the day.
Wednesday Night / Thursday Morning
- Impacts persist in the Northeast, including Sandy-impacted areas
- Low pressure stalls out temporarily off the Jersey shore and Long Island, then weakens overnight.
- Strongest winds continue from eastern Long Island to coastal Rhode Island and coastal Massachusetts, including Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, with occasional gusts over 60 mph still possible. Occasional gusts over 50 mph are still possible in New York City and Boston metros. Additional power outages are possible.
- Some coastal flooding is still expected, particularly at high tide along north and northeast-facing beaches, but may diminish along the Jersey shore as winds may turn more offshore. This coastal flood threat extends as far north as the eastern shore of Massachusetts.
- Areas of rain persist from coastal Maine to the Delmarva Peninsula.
- That said, accumulating snow is possible as far south as northern New Jersey and the Poconos into northern New England. Some wet snow may even fall over low elevations of eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware.
Thursday
Low pressure weakens and slowly shifts east.
- Occasional gusts over 50 mph may persist in coastal southeast New England.
- Winds will be offshore in New Jersey and the Delmarva by Thursday morning, if not earlier. Occasional gusts over 40 mph are still expected in these areas. Lingering coastal flooding is possible in coastal southern New England and along the sound side of Long Island.
- Lingering areas of rain, with wet mountain snow, from the Catskills and Upstate New York into New England. Snow will mainly be early in the day.
