Multi threat alerts are already in place across several states, with 1,200 miles from the Gulf Coast to the Canadian border expected to be hit by adverse weather. Winds of up to 60mph could disrupt air travel, while snow and ice could cause further travel chaos on the Monday morning commute.

com/UWPQXZg8uM — Jordan Hall (@JordanHallWX) December 9, 2023 It will grow in strength and expand into Saturday, with the wettest and windiest weather felt Sunday into Monday before plunging temperatures could turn precipitation into snow. Howling winds could bring down trees, disrupt flights and cause power outages when they blow in across New England on Sunday. The storm is due to reach peak strength by the afternoon as it engulfs much of the east, with gusts picking up considerable compared to Saturday where the gales will be concentrated more in the south.
By Sunday night the winds could whip up to 60mph across New England and coastal portions of New York and New Jersey . The public has been warned to secure any outdoor holiday decorations, while those travelling by air could see delays or cancellations. ‘Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and make driving difficult, especially for drivers of high profile vehicles,’ the National Weather Service said, ‘Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.
Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high profile vehicle. ‘ Almost all of eastern parts of the US are set to be lashed by heavy rain, with some area to be drenched by up to three inches. Forecasters warned flash flooding is likely, with parts along the East Coast expected to be soaked by at least an inch of rain.
Downpours are expected to begin in the Midwest and Mississippi Valley before sweeping eastwards. The rain is due to begin building from Saturday and continue into Sunday, possibly affecting some NFL games in Maryland and New Jersey. A surge of warmth which began in the northern tier will swing across the east bringing temperatures to 20-30 or more above average meaning most precipitation is likely to fall as rain.
