An area off the East Coast is worth watching this weekend. Increased wave action and beach erosion are possible along areas already hit by September's nor'easter, and from North Carolina's Outer Banks to the Northeast, gusts could approach or surpass 45-50 mph in places. Residents from Savannah, Charleston, Hatteras, Wilmington and Virginia Beach should stay alert as we watch the latest forecast trends.
