Nor'easter Forecast for NYC: Model Disagreements Create Uncertainty on Weekend Storm Severity

Forecasters are increasingly confident a late-week nor'easter will impact the Northeast, though significant uncertainty remains regarding the storm's exact track and intensity. The system is expected to bring strong winds, high surf, and potential coastal flooding to New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut from Friday through Sunday. While tidal flooding is already beginning in the Delaware and Chesapeake Bay regions, the primary threat to the Tri-State area will peak during high tides on Friday and Saturday. The severity of local impacts, particularly regarding rainfall and wind gusts, depends heavily on whether the low-pressure system tracks close to the coast or remains offshore.

Long Island Tops U.S. Seller's Market, Driven by NYC Proximity

Redfin data show most metros are now buyer’s markets, but Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk) has become the country’s strongest seller’s market, with 36.2% fewer sellers than buyers as demand to be near Manhattan remains high. Well-priced homes draw multiple offers quickly, while buyers from Queens relocate for more space; sellers should price accurately and stage well, and buyers should get preapproved and be ready to act.
