Fall Nor'easter Threatens NYC With Strong Winds and Coastal Flooding This Weekend

A first fall nor'easter is forecast to intensify as it approaches the NYC area this weekend, potentially bringing 60–70 mph wind gusts, heavy rain, and major coastal flooding if it tracks closer to New Jersey or Long Island; eastern Long Island could see 3 inches or more of rain, with persistent high waves and dune damage along coastlines. Forecasts vary by model (European model closer to shore vs GFS farther out), and impacts will depend on the storm’s final track from midweek through the weekend.

Dujuan Regains Typhoon Strength, Brings Heavy Rain Risk to Japan’s Izu Islands

Japan braces for Dujuan, which briefly intensified to a typhoon and is forecast to strengthen again to a typhoon with winds up to 80 mph (gusts ~100 mph) as it moves northeast toward the Izu Islands, prompting evacuation warnings and warnings of heavy rain, floods and landslides across Chubu and Kanto (potentially ~200 mm in 24 hours; Tokyo could see intense downpours, and the Izu Peninsula may receive 80 mm in three hours) before the system dissipates later this week. Separately, the Atlantic season remains unusually quiet as Fay forms southwest of the Azores, likely not strengthening, while parts of SW Europe are forecast to experience a late-summer heatwave.

Lowell Near Hawaii Sends Kauai Preparations into High Gear

Hurricane Lowell, briefly a Category 5 on Sept. 4, remains on a track toward Hawaii as a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds and could bring heavy rain, high surf, and strong winds as it skirts near Kauai around Sept. 7; forecast models place the center 100–200 nautical miles west of Kauai with the right-front quadrant posing the greatest risk.

Warnings or watches may be issued; residents should review evacuation zones, assemble emergency kits, and monitor updates as advisories for high surf and flooding continue.”
