Forecast: Nor'easter Moves On
High waves and pockets of rain are expected to remain as the nor'easter moves on. Despite the storm's center moving south, the seas remain treacherous, with two boats washing ashore in Joppa Park, Newburyport, on Monday morning.
The south coast is experiencing 6-12 foot waves, with 10-15 foot seas near and offshore, making it a hazardous marine storm. Wave swells will ease slightly on Tuesday but increase again mid-week.
Another round of minor coastal flooding and splash over is likely during the Monday afternoon high tide. Wind gusts will ease but remain active at 20-30 mph, with isolated higher gusts possible at the coast.
Rainfall totals vary, indicating "a tale of two New Englands".
Powerful proof that this nor'easter isn't messing around.
