Prepare for a Nor’easter
- High winds to cause widespread power outages, travel disruptions and property damage.
- Flooding rainfall in store for some locations, and coastal flooding will occur.
- Rain to end as snow in many areas, with risk of a foot or more of heavy, wet snow in a narrow zone.
Major trouble anticipated from high winds
The most far-reaching effect of the storm will be high winds. Gusts of 50-60 mph will be common from the central and southern Appalachians to the lower Great Lakes and part of northern New England. However, gusts approaching hurricane force are likely along the coast from Delmarva to eastern Massachusetts. The strongest winds are likely to be along the coast of eastern Massachusetts.
Extensive power outages are likely spanning Friday to Saturday. Have a working flashlight on hand, and keep cell phones charged.
Winds as strong as predicted can knock down trees, cause damage property and make loose objects into projectiles. Walking, standing or driving through areas where there is a canopy of trees may be very dangerous during the storm.
