Severe Storms and Flooding Threaten Northeast US Through Thursday
US · Published Sep 1, 2026
The northeastern United States is experiencing repetitive rounds of rain and severe storms, which began on Sunday and are expected to continue through Thursday.
A heat dome is steering the jet stream into the region, contributing to the storm activity.

Impact & Risks

The storms pose significant risks of flooding, particularly in areas where heavy rain has already saturated the ground. Damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes could lead to property damage and power outages. Urban areas and regions near smaller waterways are at heightened risk of street flooding and water level rises. The repeated nature of these storms increases the likelihood of cumulative impacts, especially in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and southern New England.
