Powerful Storm System to Batter Eastern US with Wind, Rain, and Snow

A powerful storm system fueled by an atmospheric river is set to impact the Northeast U.S., bringing heavy rain and strong winds that could cause power outages and travel disruptions. The storm, expected to be the most moisture-rich since last December, poses a risk of flash flooding, particularly in urban areas, despite ongoing drought conditions. High wind alerts are in effect from Maryland to Maine, with gusts up to 60 mph possible. The storm will be followed by a rush of Arctic air, leading to below-normal temperatures and lake effect snow in the Great Lakes region.
