A multi-day nor’easter is expected to bring heavy rain, gusty winds and coastal flooding to parts of the East Coast through the weekend. More than 33 million people from Virginia to Rhode Island are in areas under coastal flood alerts, with the Jersey Shore and New York’s Long Island among the locations affected, according to Fast Company.
Forecasts call for stormy conditions at times from Friday night through Sunday in Connecticut, while New York City officials are monitoring the storm and urging residents to prepare for flooding. Long Island is expected to see coastal flooding and strong winds beginning Friday, followed by prolonged rainfall. Forecasters are also tracking potential effects in Massachusetts and Upstate New York.
The expected severe weather has prompted organizers to cancel outdoor concerts, festivals and other gatherings across the region, including Global Citizen and Oceans Calling events. Some cancellations were announced shortly before the weekend as organizers responded to updated forecasts and weather alerts.
