National Traffic Forecast

 

Nor'easter Impacts the East Coast with Heavy Rains and Strong Winds - 09-26 to 09-28
Updated Sat Sep 26th 2026, 1:35am PDT

Our roads on the East Coast are gearing up for a challenging weekend due to a strong Nor'easter, which will bring heavy rains, strong winds, and coastal flooding from the Mid-Atlantic through to Southern New England. This system will cause significant disruptions along major routes, and travelers should expect delays and potential detours. In the Southern High Plains, expect some excessive rainfall on Friday that may lead to flash flooding.

Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Challenges

The Nor'easter is expected to impact the Interstate 95 corridor significantly, especially from Philadelphia, PA to New York City, NY. Coastal flooding is probable, with high tide cycles bringing water over roadways. Expect closures and detours along coastal roads in Delaware and New Jersey this weekend. Strong wind gusts reaching 45-65 mph could also impact travel on bridges and elevated roadways, causing delays and possible downed trees.

Southern New England Concerns

Heavy rain in Southern New England will affect the Interstate 95 as well as Interstate 91 in Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA. Drivers should anticipate minor flash flooding in urban areas and hydroplaning on slick roads. Coastal routes, particularly around Boston, MA, will experience dangerous conditions with potential road closures.

Southern High Plains Updates

Expect showers and thunderstorms in the Southern High Plains on Friday, potentially affecting routes such as US Highway 287 near Amarillo, TX and State Route 60 near Pampa, TX. Flash flooding could impact travel in low-lying areas and near streams.

Middle Mississippi Valley Considerations

Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall on Saturday could lead to flash flooding. Key routes like Interstate 70 near St. Louis, MO will likely have wet conditions that can reduce visibility and increase travel times. Stay alert for possible short-notice road closures and detours due to flooding.

Be sure to stay updated on weather alerts and travel advisories. Safe travels!
