So grateful this isn't snow!
A powerful Nor'easter is sweeping through the region, bringing even more rainfall than originally projected, scattered flash flooding, and damaging wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour that could cause power outages.
Rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches with locally higher amounts are possible for parts of the region shown in dark green in the second image above.
