One of the worst major coastal flooding events on record — likely near Superstorm Sandy levels — is imminent for parts of the Eastern Seaboard as a soon-to-be bomb cyclone enters the Northeast.
This comes in the absence of blizzard conditions on the warm side of the dangerous winter storm that is walloping the Midwest and Great Lakes as it begins to spread toward the East Coast ahead of the Christmas holiday weekend.
The Fox Forecast Center said windswept rain is expected Friday in the Northeast as powerful winds blast the region with widespread 50-plus-mph wind gusts.
In addition, 60- to 70-mph gusts cannot be ruled out with the passage of the Arctic cold front Friday into Friday night. At least a few scattered power outages are likely, and more widespread outages are possible.
At the coast, strong onshore winds will lead to a significant coastal flood event along south-facing coasts, especially with the Friday morning high tide.
Flood levels are forecast to be among the top 10, and in some cases the top five, on record along the south shore of Long Island, the Jersey Shore and the Connecticut coast.

Are you worried yet!?
Allow me to be the first to apologize for driving gasoline powered cars and heating my house with natural gas.
“We’re getting hundred year weather events every ten years.” /Schumer
We aren’t at “BOOM” or “BOMBSHELL” status yet, so no need to worry.
Maybe we can send 10,000 tons of detergent to the east coast and the storm’s water can CLEAN THE PLACE UP. Mother Nature may clean the filth if we add SOAP!!
“widespread 50-plus-mph wind gusts”
maybe it will FINALLY blow all the damn leaves off the lawn.
been battling the stragglers for weeks.
CLIMAGEDDON!!!!! Just like turbulence and airplanes, climate change is no doubt the reason for the season. Oh, and my whites are brighter as well.
Worried? No.
But anyone not prepared for this one is a fool.
MOW them amd leave the mulched leaves on the grass. It “is believed” that sends a message to the remaining stragglers to go to a neighbor’s lawn.
HAHA, Maybe you want the wind to do the job of illegal aliens. That might be considered suspicious...
We’re at the very beginning of this mess - we’ve got about 4” on the ground so far but no bad winds, yet.
My Propane Guy was just here to top off our tank - I could’ve kissed him, but that would’ve been weird, LOL!
We did wish each other a Merry Christmas. He lived on this farm as a kid, so he takes good care of us. Not everyone sucks, which we need to make note of on a daily basis. :)
Bomb, cyclone, superstorm? Only 3 adjectives?
Be vewy, vewy afwaid.
You’re lots easier to manipulate when you’re scared.
Surely, this is biggest, worst, most potentially DEADLY Hyper-Storm of All Time!
Same scare tactics. EVERY. SINGLE. WINTER.
we only have decent records for 100 years and those are sporadic and inconclusive.
Remember when it was called “Winter”? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Have they given the storm a name yet?
oh gawd!!! it’s gonna rain slushies!!!
PANIC !!!!
