A strengthening nor’easter off the Southeast is set to lash the East Coast through early next week with tropical-storm-force gusts, soaking rain and dangerous seas. New Jersey declared a state of emergency starting Saturday night, as officials warned of major coastal flooding from the Outer Banks to New York. Atlantic City could top 8 feet Sunday—the highest water since Sandy—cutting off roads. Heavy rain may trigger flash flooding; winds could hit 60 mph in New Jersey and southern New England. Travel snarls are likely, with power outages and rough surf expected.
