The storm poses significant risks to coastal communities in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Flooding is a major concern, particularly in areas under advisories, including New York City, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. High winds and heavy rain increase the likelihood of power outages and travel disruptions, including airline delays. Coastal areas may experience dangerous surf conditions with waves reaching up to 30 feet (9 meters). Eastern Massachusetts is particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall, which could lead to localized flooding. The timing coincides with global leaders departing New York after United Nations meetings, potentially complicating travel plans.
