Anonymous
A powerful, slow-moving nor’easter is expected to bring prolonged rain, strong winds and coastal flooding to parts of the East Coast, with conditions lasting through Monday in New England. The heaviest rain and strongest gusts are forecast from Saturday into Sunday; coastal gusts could reach 55 to 60 mph, and several inches of rain may fall in parts of Long Island and southern New England. Persistent onshore winds and elevated full-moon tides could cause repeated coastal flooding, while high surf, beach erosion, power outages and flooding along tidal waterways are also concerns.
