Slow-Moving Nor’easter Off the Carolinas Has a 40% Chance of Becoming Josephine as NC 12 Stays Closed
Nature World News | 22.10.2026 20:01The storm pounding North Carolina's Outer Banks is not a hurricane, and as of early Wednesday, it was not even tropical. Still, the National Hurricane Center gives the storm-force, non-tropical low spinning a few hundred miles off the Mid-Atlantic coast a 40% chance of becoming a subtropical or tropical cyclone within 48 hours. If that happens, it would take the next name on the Atlantic list, Josephine.
