The hybrid storm -- part nor’easter, part tropical -- is expected to also bring rough surf, rip currents and coastal flooding.
A named storm might develop off the Southeast U.S. coast late this week, bringing gusty winds, rough surf, dangerous rip currents and heavy rainfall to the Eastern Seaboard into the weekend. Neither fully tropical nor entirely a run-of-the-mill mid-latitude storm, the possible hybrid system will feed off both jet stream energy and the warm waters of the Gulf Stream.
Onshore winds of 35 to 45 mph will buffet the coastline, with gusts near 50 mph possible in the coastal Mid-Atlantic if the storm jogs westward. The American GFS model simulates that’s in the realm of possibilities. In this scenario, gusts of 30 to 45 mph could extend as far west as the Interstate 95 corridor.
The American GFS model simulates a stronger upper-air disturbance, which, in addition to making for a more intense surface low, will tug the storm farther west. That would lead to a possible landfall in the Mid-Atlantic, and bring heavy precipitation farther inland. Washington, for example, would be absolutely drenched.

ACCC predicts east coast gas surplus in 2024The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has revealed that Australia’s east coast gas market should have a 1.4 petajoule (PJ) surplus in the first quarter of 2024, even if the liquefied natural gas (LNG) producers export all their uncontracted gas. In its interim gas inquiry report, the ACCC forecasts the supply and demand balance for the east coast market for wholesale gas between January and March next year, which is a period of high LNG export demand and reduced residential gas heating demand due to warmer weather.
