Major highways potentially affected include I-10, I-25, I-40.

— Friday, September 25 through Saturday, September 26: Southern New England, with adjacent areas from northeastern New Jersey and southeastern New York into southwestern Maine: Heavy rain may create localized flooding and reduced visibility. Major highways potentially affected include I-84, I-87, I-90, I-91, I-95.

— Friday, September 25 through Saturday, September 26: Much of Massachusetts, most of Rhode Island, northeastern Connecticut, southeastern New Hampshire, and southwestern Maine: Strong winds may create locally difficult driving. Major highways potentially affected include I-90, I-95.

Confidence in the Extended Outlook:

Confidence is average overall. Large-scale agreement is generally good early, but there is meaningful uncertainty in the exact position of the nor’easter and therefore in the placement of heavier rain and stronger winds. Later in the outlook, confidence remains average, despite model differences persisting over the contiguous United States.
