A significant nor’easter is brewing along the East Coast this weekend, poised to deliver a punch of heavy rain, strong winds, and perilous surf conditions to a wide swath of the region. Current weather models suggest that the storm's impact zone will stretch from the Carolinas all the way up to southern New England. The Outer Banks are particularly at risk, with forecasts predicting considerable coastal erosion due to the combined effects of high winds and pounding waves.
