Nor'easter Could Become a Subtropical Storm

Could this coastal storm get a tropical-season name? AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno says the offshore nor'easter could transition into a subtropical storm, potentially becoming Josephine. But the coastal hazards in his forecast do not depend on that change.

Rayno expects gusty winds and rough surf to affect the East Coast through Thursday, with beach erosion and flooding during high tides. He also offers an important comparison: "Now, this storm won't be as strong or as impactful as the September nor'easter..."

The forecast graphic places the system's potential for tropical development at medium. That is a possibility, not an announcement that a named storm has formed.

The short report, titled "Nor'easter Could Become a Subtropical Storm," drew about 185,000 views in its first ten hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for Shorts.

Rayno's practical emphasis is on the persistence of the weather along the Mid-Atlantic and New England shorelines: repeated gusty winds, rough water and coastal flooding when the tide rises.
