The storm poses significant risks to coastal areas, including beach erosion and flooding due to high waves and astronomically high tides. New England, particularly Boston and Cape Cod, is expected to bear the brunt of the storm, with heavy rain and strong winds potentially disrupting daily life. Coastal flooding is possible from North Carolina to New Jersey, and flight disruptions are likely along the corridor from New York City to Boston. The combination of heavy rain, strong winds, and high waves could lead to hazardous conditions for residents and travelers in the affected areas.
