A powerful storm off the East Coast with tropical winds and rains could develop into a nor’easter over the weekend into Monday. It’s forecast to bring heavy rain, gusty winds, rough surf and coastal flooding.
The coast from North Carolina to near New York City will be significantly impacted, according to AccuWeather. On Friday afternoon, New Jersey declared a state of emergency ahead of the dangerous storm. The Staten Island Half Marathon, scheduled for Sunday, has also been canceled due to the storm.
“A coastal low is expected to develop off the Southeast U.S. Coast early Saturday and strengthen through this weekend,” the National Weather Service said Friday, “bringing significant coastal impacts to much of the U.S. East Coast through early next week.”
Coastal flood watches and advisories have been put in place in various parts of the East Coast.
Meteorologists also say that the storm could evolve into a named tropical storm designated by the National Hurricane Center, which would happen if it reaches maximum sustained winds of at least 39 mph. Next up on the list of names for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is Karen.
"A fully tropical storm gets its energy solely from the ocean. A subtropical or hybrid storm gets its energy from both the ocean and the jet stream or stalled front,” AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva explained. “We think this will be a hybrid storm as a result.”
Meteorologists say the storm could resemble powerful nor’easters that power up the Atlantic coastline during the winter, minus the snow.

It takes two people to write a weather report?
AccuPanic.
One of them is AI.
I’m going with a typical autumn rain.
Damn Global Warming and CO2...
Soon, we are going to freeze to death over the Global Warming freezing everything.
Well, before A.I. ... For GenZ, a typical biased story was 3-5 humans...
With the slanted A.I, it is now only 3-10 humans, plus A.I.
Nice improvement!
Good news. We need some rain in here in NC. So far, it’s been a very dry fall.
Going to hit where I live.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need the rain so bad. NH is in a severe drought.
The storm won’t be named Karen because they already used that name for a weak tropical storm in the central Atlantic. The name it could get is Lorenzo, but it may not be considered tropical, just a regular nor’easter.
Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo and Rebekah are names that will or could be used later in the season. There are a number of weak candidates for future tropical storms on the charts so I am not even sure if Lorenzo would be the name for this coastal storm, or that name could get used first for some other system, so it could end up being Melissa. But it won’t be Karen, I suspect they named this mid-ocean thing Karen to avoid all the Karen jokes that would follow if they had to name a big impact storm Karen. If it’s Lorenzo it will be no joke.
At least the Yankees won’t be rained out (ouch).
Remember the good ole days when only bona fide hurricanes received an official name? Now they give names to glorified windstorms. Anything to keep the global warming hoax alive.
Yep - they have a system moving from land towards ocean - expect lots of rain over weekend but winds topping about 30mph.
What they won’t do to try to keep algore in the money and Greta in the news.
My wife will be glued to the CliFi (Weather) Channel
They give names to winter storms, dog knows why.
Ditto...
We live on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay...
A surge of more than 5 feet will be another disaster here...
Jerry ... dead for now, could revive next week.
Karen ... gone but not forgotten.
Lorenzo ... more likely to be the tropical Atlantic system being investigated now.
Melissa ... could be the coastal storm in about five days when it leaves the coast and gets out towards mid-ocean, then it starts to look subtropical and does a loop like the 1991 “perfect storm” did south of Nova Scotia.
This coastal storm looks quite powerful (if non tropical in nature) and will generate 40-60 mph northeast wind gusts over parts of the mid-Atlantic and northeastern states in coming days, plus 2 to 4 inches of rain in some areas. It will be cool and raw, 55-60 F at best. It only starts to look a bit tropical after leaving the coast around Tuesday into Wednesday. By then Lorenzo may already be a tropical storm in the vicinity of 20N 40W, nowhere near any land. So this coastal storm could therefore become tropical storm Melissa as a higher probability than Lorenzo. Or none of the above could get named but nowadays if anything moves and there’s a faint sign of tropical characteristics, they slap a name on it to pad the count. In the 19th century nobody would have known Karen was out there.
They are forecasting two inches of rain here—enough to relieve dry conditions—so this is a good thing.
