"Northeast Prepares for Midweek Storm with Flood Risks and Heavy Rain Impact"
Massachusetts is bracing for a midweek storm that is expected to be more severe than the weekend snowstorm, with potential for heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding leading to widespread power outages and damage. The National Weather Service warns of the storm's impact, which could include over 60 mph wind gusts, and compares it to a late December 2023 storm that caused significant disruptions. Despite the weekend snow, rising temperatures during the week are likely to cause melting and exacerbate flooding issues. A winter storm warning remains in effect, and residents are urged to prepare for the conditions.
