A rare late-season nor'easter is set to lash New York this weekend, delivering a potent mix of coastal flooding, hurricane-force winds, and heavy surf that could disrupt travel and coastal communities. Authorities warn of dangerous conditions along the shoreline, with prolonged rain and gusts strong enough to down trees or knock out power. The storm’s timing—unusually late in the season—has meteorologists urging residents to prepare for prolonged disruptions. Those in flood-prone or wind-exposed areas should monitor updates as the system intensifies.


The strongest impacts from New York's rare September nor'easter are expected through Sunday, bringing coastal flooding, strong winds, rough surf and periods of rain to parts of the state.
