Heavy rain and flash flooding are expected across much of the East Coast through early this week as a slow-moving storm system advances east.
The highest risk shifts to the Northeast on Monday, including New York City and Boston, where repeated downpours could trigger flooding in low-lying areas and disrupt travel.

The focus of the most intense weather is shifting northward. By Monday, the Northeast region will bear the brunt of the storm's impact. Major metropolitan areas such as New York City and Boston are particularly vulnerable.
