The storm poses significant risks, including flash flooding, slippery roads, and hazardous driving conditions due to wet pavement and debris. Coastal cities in the Northeast may experience life-threatening flooding through Saturday. Areas with prolonged dry weather, such as New York City and Philadelphia, could face sudden downpours, increasing the risk of localized flooding. Wet leaves and oil buildup on roads may further reduce traction, creating dangerous conditions for drivers and pedestrians. Residents in affected areas should remain vigilant and prepared for potential evacuations.
