The severe weather poses significant risks to over 116 million people across the eastern US. Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to flash flooding, which could disrupt morning commutes and cause damage to infrastructure. The primary threats include damaging winds capable of toppling trees, large hail, and tornadoes, with the highest tornado risk in western New York and eastern Pennsylvania. Rainfall rates could reach up to 2.5 inches per hour, exacerbating the risk of flooding in areas already saturated from recent storms. The I-95 corridor, including major cities like New York and Boston, is expected to experience the brunt of the storms during the evening rush hour.
