A strong center of low pressure, fueled in part by the recent Pacific storm that pummeled the Northern Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes Region, has set up off the Northeast Coast, producing a Nor'Easter more typical of late winter or early spring.
The storm's counterclockwise winds will lash the New England Coast with strong winds, heavy rain, large waves and storm surge. Unlike most Nor'Easters, there will be no snow but the cold, wind-driven rain may feel even worse.
Fortunately, the storm will be short-lived, moving rapidly up the coast and then out to sea. In its wake, sunny, warm conditions are expected for the Memorial Day Weekend.
