Another storm

Washington Post -  Blizzard conditions, damaging winds, coastal flooding and dangerous cold are all expected along the East Coast this weekend as a powerful nor’easter rapidly intensifies into a bomb cyclone.

The storm’s heaviest snow will fall across the Carolinas, where swaths of 3 to 6 inches are likely, as well as along the coastline from southeast Virginia to southeast Massachusetts — with localized amounts eclipsing 6 inches.

Along North Carolina’s storm-ravaged Outer Banks, wind gusts of 70 to 80 mph late Saturday into Sunday will cause huge waves to crash against the coast, elevating chances for flooding and power outages.

“There will be potential for moderate to locally significant coastal flooding,” wrote the National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City, North Carolina, adding that the storm’s impacts would be exacerbated by higher tides.

Coastal flooding and erosion are also possible from the Mid-Atlantic to New England.
