The term ‘Nor’Easter’ describes a storm along the East Coast characterized by winds originating from the Northeast.

This particular storm, moving significantly inland, is expected to drench the Charlotte area with steady rain throughout Sunday. As the storm’s center approaches closer, heavier bouts of rain are anticipated later in the day. Additionally, wind gusts ranging from 30 to 50 mph could occur, raising the possibility of widespread power outages.
