Nor'easter Is Pounding The East Coast With Coastal Flooding, Heavy Rain, Strong Winds

A nor'easter will finally move away from the East Coast Tuesday after bringing days of significant coastal flooding, heavy rain and strong winds from the Carolinas to the Northeast Seaboard.

Two areas of low pressure are swirling near the East Coast. The strongest of these is just off the coast of the Delmarva Peninsula and the Jersey Shore.

In combination with strong high pressure over New Brunswick and Quebec, that's producing strong winds along the Northeast coast, particularly from southern New England to New Jersey.

This October nor'easter has already flooded areas from the Carolinas to New Jersey during high tide over the weekend.

Northeast swamped by storm, while 50 rescued and 1 dead in Alaska

Streets on the Jersey Shore flooded Monday and the Coast Guard rescued someone in the ocean off Cape Cod as a nor’easter brought rain, dangerous surf and wind gusts of more than 40 mph to the Northeast, officials said.

There appear to have been no weather-related deaths reported in the storm on the East Coast, which was forecast to affect southern New England through most of Tuesday.

But in western Alaska, one person was confirmed dead, two were missing and more than 50 people had been rescued after remnants from Typhoon Halong struck coastal areas over the weekend, bringing winds of around 70 mph, officials said.
