"Nor’easter To Undergo ‘Bombogenesis’ And Lash New England"

"Damaging winds are also likely from the fast-moving storm Wednesday night."

"A powerful fall nor’easter is set to pound New England Wednesday night, unleashing heavy rain and possibly damaging winds. It’s a setup reminiscent of scores of whopper Northeast snowstorms, but this system will be wet and not white.

The powerful cyclone will organize rapidly Wednesday, qualifying as a meteorological “bomb” thanks to its speed as it strengthens. The stage is set for a potentially impactful Wednesday night across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

The storm will start to gather itself to the south of New England Wednesday morning. The National Weather Service in Boston noted that “altogether, this storm looks progressive,” moving quickly enough that widespread freshwater flooding from rainfall shouldn’t be an issue, though there may be isolated instances of urban flooding. With low astronomical tides, coastal flooding is unlikely to be a concern."
