Meteorologists predict that states from Maine to New York will see the worst impacts, with dangerous flooding and widespread power outages predicted to start on Wednesday evening.
'The impactful nature of the storm in coastal areas of the Northeast will be like a landfilling strong tropical storm or hurricane,' AccuWeather meteorologists stated.
'The risk for significant flooding will be further amplified across the higher elevations of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine where there is a considerable snowpack of several inches on the ground,' AccuWeather meteorologist Jonathan Porter warned.
Rapidly melting snow can add one to two inches of water to storm runoff, and rapidly rising water can cause 'life-threatening' flooding.
