NORFOLK, Va. — Cities and counties from the Eastern Shore all the way south through Dare County are taking action to prepare for what could prove to be a nasty nor'easter that's forming off the coast in the Atlantic.
The storm is coming together as the remnants of tropical system Ian combine with a cold front. 13News Now Meteorologist Evan Stewart says we could face the highest flooding Hampton Roads has seen in years.
Right now, the forecast is for Monday afternoon to reach "major" flooding, which starts at 6.5 feet above mean lower low water at Sewells Point. Major flooding is also forecast for Yorktown and Duck, NC, as well as other areas that are subject to flooding from prolonged north and northeast winds.
School closings throughout the area are being reported. You can check to see if your school is included by going to our closings page.
