What's the No. 1 weather worry as powerful storm nears?
Buttrick said the forecast is similar for the Fitchburg area, but there is a winter storm watch in effect from noon Friday through 4 a.m. Saturday. "We're expecting to see more severe flooding issues here than we did in the January 4 storm", when a Nor'easter lashed the region with heavy snow and rain, he said.
Coastal flooding and wind gusts of up to 75 miles per hour are expected, and some MA residents have already been asked to evacuate before Friday morning.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office shared pictures of cars getting stuck in places where water covered the road, reminding people to "Turn around, don't drown" if they come across flooded roads.
The U.S. Coast Guard is advising boaters to exercise "vigilance and extreme caution". Rain will continue overnight Thursday, occasionally heavy at times, and continue into Friday.
The flooding in Boston is one of the reasons the Walsh administration launched the Climate Ready program, which has shown the Seaport District is most likely to be affected by flooding related to stormy weather and climate change.
Walker also noted that the combinations of high winds and sustained rain, which softens the ground, could lead extensive downed trees and power outages. It forecast storm surges of up to four feet (1.2 m) for eastern MA. Even though the precipitation will slow down on Saturday, coastal flooding will still be a threat as tides will be high through Saturday evening.
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain and snow showers. The deluge will cause coastal flooding at high tide in places like the Jersey Shore and the MA coast, as well as river and stream overflow farther inland.
Along the New Jersey coast, some residents began to board up their homes Thursday morning in anticipation of the storm, the Associated Press reported.
Some coastal regions have already issued evacuation orders.
An estimated 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is also expected in the five boroughs and temps are predicted to dip into the mid-30s by Friday afternoon. Moderate coastal flooding in Queens and Long island is expected Friday.
"This may cause flooding in basements, poor drainage areas, and on some small streams and rivers", DePrest said.
"Travel hard for high profile vehicles", the report added.
Sunday: Sunny with a high near 40 degrees and a low of about 26 degrees.
Reduced visibility and difficulty traveling will be an issue throughout the Hudson Valley tomorrow, so think before you go out.
