The Northeast is bracing for a storm system that has already wreaked havoc in Tennessee over the weekend. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories to parts of New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine through Monday evening.
The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall and snow to the Northeast, as well as strong winds and gusts of up to 60 mph in some areas. Snow accumulations of up to 8 inches are possible in some areas, and ice accumulations of up to a quarter of an inch are expected in some areas.
The storm is expected to bring a mix of rain and snow to the New York City area, and the NWS warns that this could result in difficult travel conditions. The NWS is advising people to stay off the roads if possible, and be prepared for power outages.
The storm is also expected to cause coastal flooding in some areas along the coast, especially in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The NWS also warns of strong rip currents and high waves, and advises people to stay away from the shore.
The storm system has already caused tragedy in Tennessee, with at least 25 people dead and dozens injured after a series of deadly tornadoes swept through the state. The NWS warned of the possibility of additional tornadoes in the Northeast, but they are not expected to be as severe as those in Tennessee.
Despite the danger posed by the storm, some people in the Northeast are embracing it. Ski resorts in Vermont and New Hampshire are eagerly awaiting the snowfall, and people who live near the coast are looking forward to the high waves.
The storm system is expected to move out of the Northeast by Tuesday morning, but the NWS warns that people should remain vigilant and be prepared for additional snow and ice accumulations. They are also urging people to take precautions such as staying off the roads and away from the shore, and preparing for possible power outages.
