The primary risks include damaging wind gusts and localized flash flooding, which could disrupt travel and pose safety hazards. Areas with poor drainage, such as urban centers and low-lying regions, are particularly vulnerable. Rainfall rates of 2–3 inches per hour could overwhelm infrastructure, leading to road closures and water rescues, as seen in Queens, New York, on Saturday. Power outages are also a concern, with Virginia already reporting over 64,000 outages during the weekend storms.
