Tropical Depression Willa Could Turn Into Nor'easter

On Tuesday, Hurricane Willa hit the Mexican coast near Isla Del Bosque, Sinaloa, as a Category 3 storm with wind speeds of 120 miles per hour. While the storm is rapidly weakening, its remnants may come together to form a Nor’easter affecting the East Coast of the United States.After making landfall, Willa quickly weakened to a tropical depression as it moved inland over Mexico. By Wednesday morning, Willa only had wind speeds of 35 miles per hour and further weakening was expected until the storm fully dissipated by early afternoon.

The storm is quickly dissipating, but the energy and moisture from the storm is expected to reorganize itself, forming into a coastal storm that’s forecasted to move up the East Coast, according to ABC News. The storm is predicted to dump rain in Florida and then move into the Carolinas by Friday afternoon, bringing heavy rain from Atlanta to Washington, D.C.Then, CBS News reported, the remnants of Willa will merge with a cold front and turn into the season’s first Nor’easter. Heavy wind and rain is expected for the East Coast and possible coastal flooding could bleed into Saturday. Winds ranging from 50 to 70 miles per hour and waves of up to 20 feet are forecasted for coastal areas from Virginia to New England
