Real-Time Monitoring Field Observations: A Fall Nor’easter

September 25 - 28, 2026

A rare September Nor’easter hit the coast of New England this weekend, bringing multiple days of gusty winds, heavy rain, strong waves, and coastal flooding. The Stone Living Lab’s (SLL) Real-Time Monitoring Network captured the impact of the storm throughout the Massachusett coast (Figure 1). The weather station, wave buoys, tide gauges, and overland flood sensors provided detailed insights into the impacts of the storm.
