一场被称为"重大"的东北风暴周五开始影响美国东海岸新英格兰地区，预计影响4000万人1。沿新泽西州至缅因州海岸一带，风速预计达到40-60英里/小时，蒙托克地区风速可能高达80英里/小时1。与此同时，强降雨也将随之而来，东南马萨诸塞州部分地区预计最多降雨8英寸，而波士顿和纽约市预计最多2英寸1。
太平洋地区同时面临多个飓风威胁1。飓风诺洛预计周六凌晨以3级飓风强度经过夏威夷大岛南部80英里处，将带来持续5天的暴雨、灾难性洪水和泥石流1。飓风波洛本周初从热带风暴迅速升级为5级飓风，风速达到160英里/小时1。气象专家将这一系列极端天气事件与创纪录的厄尔尼诺现象联系在一起，太平洋盆地本季已形成18场命名风暴，而大西洋则自1914年以来首次在9月21日前未形成飓风1。
A major nor'easter began battering the US East Coast on Friday, with the National Weather Service warning of destructive conditions across New England affecting approximately 40 million people. 1 Wind speeds along the coast from New Jersey to Maine are expected to reach 40 to 60 miles per hour, with gusts in Montauk potentially reaching 80 miles per hour. 1 Rainfall predictions vary by region, with some areas of southeastern Massachusetts anticipated to receive up to 8 inches, while Boston and New York City are forecast to experience approximately 2 inches. 1
The nor'easter coincides with heightened hurricane activity in the Pacific, where Hurricane Nolo is projected to pass within 80 miles south of the Big Island of Hawaii early Saturday as a Category 3 hurricane, threatening catastrophic flooding, torrential rainfall lasting five days, and mudslides. 1 Separately, Hurricane Polo underwent rapid intensification earlier this week, escalating from tropical storm status to a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 160 miles per hour. 1 The extreme weather activity reflects broader patterns, as the Pacific basin has experienced 18 named storms this season, while the Atlantic has not produced a hurricane prior to September 21 for the first time since 1914—a phenomenon attributed partly to record-breaking El Niño conditions that are intensifying global extreme weather events. 1
