Northeast Storm Brings Heavy Rain and Wind

A significant storm is impacting the northeastern United States, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and potential flooding, particularly in Massachusetts and Maine. Meteorologists warn of wind gusts reaching up to 60 mph, with rain totals between 2 to 4 inches, potentially causing widespread power outages and dangerous travel conditions. The National Weather Service has issued flood watches and high wind warnings across much of the region, advising residents to prepare for potential flooding and power disruptions. In Maine, power companies like Versant and Central Maine Power are mobilizing crews to address expected outages due to downed trees and power lines. The storm is expected to ease by Thursday, bringing clearer and cooler weather, allowing for post-storm recovery efforts. Coastal areas are anticipated to be hardest hit, with the potential for urban flooding and road washouts.
