Unseasonal July storm sparks Northeast flash flood risk

A powerful summer storm will stall over the Northeast Tuesday through Thursday, bringing heavy rain and a flash flood threat with 1–4 inches expected in many areas and heavier bands possible; the New York–Philadelphia corridor and southern New England face the greatest risk, with urban flooding likely, potential power outages, downed trees, and travel delays. Winds could be strong, isolated tornadoes are possible, and the storm is expected to weaken and move out by Friday.
