The storm’s wind field has more than doubled overnight as it transitions into a Nor’easter, an extratropical storm named for the strong winds that flow toward it out of the Northeast. It is currently forecast to hit around the Maine-Canada border late Saturday after grinding away at the US coast all the way north with wind and waves.
