Severe Weather in the Northeast
Attention commuters and travelers along the
Interstate 95 corridor from New Jersey to Maine. A powerful Nor'easter is impacting the region with heavy rain and gusty winds through Monday night. Expect potential delays and challenging driving conditions on
I-95, especially near coastal areas like
Route 1 in New Jersey and
Route 9 in Massachusetts. Coastal flooding and rip currents are also concerning, so consider alternate routes if possible. Rain should ease by Tuesday morning.
Rainfall Concerns in the Southwest and Rockies
Heavy rain is causing issues across the Southwest and Central Rockies. On Monday, expect downpours along
Interstate 40 and
Interstate 25 impacting cities like Albuquerque, NM. Flash flooding is a serious concern, especially in areas of complex terrain and burn scars. Travelers on
Route 66 and
Route 550 should remain vigilant. The risk of excessive rainfall continues into Tuesday, affecting the Central and Southern High Plains.
Flooding Risks in the Southern Plains
Starting Wednesday, rain is moving into the Southern Plains, impacting areas of central Texas and southern Oklahoma. With 3-6 inches of rain expected, travelers on
Interstate 35 and
Interstate 40 should be cautious of urban and river flooding. Remember, if you see flooded roads, "turn around, don't drown."
Northern Plains and Upper Midwest
Rain and thunderstorms will sweep through the Northern Plains into the Upper Midwest on Monday. Those traveling on
Interstate 90 and
Interstate 94, especially through South Dakota and Minnesota, should be prepared for localized flash flooding and hazardous driving conditions. Urban areas and low-lying roads are particularly vulnerable. Stay safe and adjust travel plans as needed.
