A nor’easter is beginning to take shape off of the Southeast this morning.

Over the next 24 – 36 hours, it will rapidly deepen (intensify) while paralleling the Eastern Seaboard, eventually becoming a hurricane-force low. While not expected, it is possible that the low could undergo bombogenesis (“bomb out”).

Impacts will include heavy rain, rough surf, beach erosion, and coastal flooding.

Some strong/gusty winds along the immediate coast. Winds could gust up to 50 to 60 knots along the North Carolina Outer Banks this evening as the storm makes its closest approach.

Parts of New Hampshire and Maine could also see some snow tomorrow morning.
