Decent agreement on the models that we could be looking at our first nor'easter of the season as we head towards next weekend. Still several days away, so there is time for things to change, but the trend is towards an impactful storm bringing rain, wind, and coastal impacts. pic.twitter.com/xi9ZhGR3TE
