(CNN) A fall nor'easter is expected to spin off the East Coast into the weekend.

Air travel delays, power outages and beach erosion could result as the nor'easter lingers through Saturday, creating a soggy, blustery mess, particularly from New York City to Boston.

As winds began to pick up Thursday morning, the National Weather Service in Boston was already getting reports of trees and power lines down.

Winds will gust over 30 mph out of the northeast as they squeeze between the ocean storm and high pressure to the north.

Coastal areas will experience even more intense, damaging winds, with gusts to tropical-storm-force of at least 39 mph. Cape Cod in Massachusetts is under a high wind warning, as winds could reach up to 60 mph.
