Ida Arrives With Heavy Rain, Gusty Winds, Flash Flooding; Isolated Tornadoes Possible
Ida, now a tropical depression, is sweeping toward the Northeast with periods of heavy rain, gusty winds, flash flooding expected in the region with isolated tornadoes possible.
Ida is moving through the central Appalachians as it heads northward, with an enhanced risk of tornadoes across parts of the mid-Atlantic on Wednesday, Sept. 1.
Significant and life-threatening flash flooding is likely from the Mid-Atlantic into southern New England, especially across highly urbanized metropolitan areas and areas of steep terrain, the National Hurricane Center said.
