Mid-Atlantic: Nor’easter could become a subtropical storm this week

A nor’easter is threatening the East coast this week, and the National Hurricane Center is watching to see if it becomes a subtropical storm. The system is expected to cause coastal flooding and high surf along parts of the mid-Atlantic, and travel could be disrupted from major hubs like New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.
