New, lesser storm may hit US East Coast

Forecasters said that another messy - and wintry - storm may cause post-Nov. 6 Election Day problems for an already weather weary East Coast of the U.S., according to UPI. But meteorologists add that the storm is six days out, so that is rather early to get too worried. The forecast could change before it hits late next week. The National Weather Service's forecast center that watches winter storms put out a long-range notice Thursday, saying bluntly that a nor'easter is possible for the mid-Atlantic and New England. Forecaster Bruce Sullivan says it would not be as bad as Superstorm Sandy and is not tropical. But it could include snow in interior New England and New York, beach erosion and high winds for areas hit by Sandy, and moderate or heavier rainfall
