The first nor’easter of the season may become the third bomb cyclone in a matter of days to affect the continental U.S., and it will usher in miserable conditions. ⛈💨 Check out our thread below to find out more: ⬇️ accuweather.com/en/weather-for…

2. The storm has been categorized as a nor'easter since it will be spreading northeasterly winds along the coast and is the first such storm of the season to impact the region. 💨 accuweather.com/en/winter-weat…

3. Like the "bomb cyclones" in the Pacific this week, the nor'easter could undergo a period of rapid intensification known as bombogenesis: accuweather.com/en/weather-for…

4. Regardless of whether the nor'easter is classified as a bomb cyclone, it is likely to bring significant impacts to the Northeast, including heavy #rain, coastal #flooding, and high winds that will cause power outages. ⛈ accuweather.com/en/weather-for…

5. The nor'easter will target areas that were slammed by Tropical Storm #Henri and Tropical Rainstorm #Ida during the summer, with effects similar to Henri: accuweather.com/en/weather-for…

6. A widespread area of 4-8 inches of rain is forecast over parts of the area, including New York City and Boston, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax of 10 inches. Autumn leaves could contribute to clogged storm drains. 😲🌧accuweather.com/en/weather-for…

7. Howling winds as high as 80 mph could be damaging and cause power outages, especially in coastal areas, which will also experience beach erosion and coastal #flooding. accuweather.com/en/weather-for…

8. The storm could end up taking on tropical or subtropical characteristics by midweek. If that happens, the National Hurricane Center would give it the name #Wanda, the final name in the Atlantic hurricane season's primary list of names: accuweather.com/en/weather-for…

9. On top of all that, AccuWeather meteorologists say the developing weather pattern will have staying power. A second storm may bring another round of significant rain and strong coastal winds to the Northeast just in time for the #Halloween weekend 🎃😅accuweather.com/en/weather-for…
