Downpours to drench Northeast this weekend, trigger travel troubles

Category: Weather

Severe weather is expected in the northeastern United States this weekend due to a combination of a dip in the jet stream, a storm, and tropical moisture. Travelers should anticipate delays at major airports and possible flash flooding along major highways. Thunderstorms may occur anytime, particularly affecting outdoor activities. Rainfall could be beneficial in drought-affected areas, but flash flooding is a concern in regions already saturated. A tropical storm is also forecast to impact the area.
