Nor'easter With 60 MPH Winds Gets A Name: Where Josephine's Headed The stubborn Nor’easter offshore has a name and a new classification, but its coastal hazards won't disappear overnight. The National Weather Service says the system became Subtropical Storm Josephine on Wednesday, Oct. 21. The change does not alter the expected local impacts. The National Hurricane Center’s early advisory Thursday, Oct. 22, says Josephine is accelerating northeastward away from the United States and is expected to become a powerful extratropical cyclone. That track takes the center farther offshore while shifting rain and wind toward Atlantic Canada. AccuWeather expects i…
