Coastal Storm To Bring Days Of Dreary Weather Along Northeast Beaches

Areas prone to taking on water during wintertime nor'easters such as Wildwood, New Jersey, and Norfolk, Virginia, will likely experience similar conditions through the first half of this week, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.

After leaving behind a deadly path of destruction from Florida to North Carolina, Ian finally met its demise over the mid-Atlantic late Saturday as it contributed to a raw and miserable start to October. Now, AccuWeather meteorologists are tracking a new, non-tropical storm off the east coast of the United States, fed in part by Ian, that they say will bring days of pounding surf, coastal flooding and windswept rainfall from Virginia to Long Island.

This latest storm, comprised of pieces of energy leftover from Ian, will have a three-prong effect, according to forecasters. In addition to raising winds to near damaging levels in some communities, the storm will also enhance rainfall along the coast and prolong above-normal tides and their effects.
