A rare September Nor'easter is expected to bring rain to much of the northeastern United States – and dry air and cooler temperatures to Florida.
Where is the Nor'Easter?
The storm is currently developing off the North Carolina coast and will rapidly strengthen until it sits just off the Long Island and New Jersey coasts this weekend.
Will the Nor'Easter make its way to Florida?
Timeline:
