The Northeast is bracing for a weak nor'easter this week, which will bring cold, wind-driven rain just before Memorial Day. The storm is expected to start with rain originating from the Great Lakes through the mid-Atlantic, with temperatures dropping to the 50s in cities like Philadelphia and Milwaukee. A coastal low will strengthen as it moves along the East Coast, leading to heavy rain and wind gusts exceeding 40 mph, potentially causing travel disruptions. Fortunately, flash flooding is not expected.
A nor'easter occurring in May demonstrates that this weather phenomenon can happen at any time of the year, not solely in winter months.
This week, the Northeast will face a combination of rainy and windy conditions as a weak nor'easter develops, leading to challenging weather.
Wind gusts from the northeast could exceed 40 mph, which may lead to travel delays, particularly at major airports like Boston.
Despite concerns, flash flooding is not expected, with rain totals from 1-2 inches typical, though some areas may experience higher amounts.
