Severe Storms and Flooding Threaten Northeast Through Thursday
The Northeast is bracing for multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall through Thursday, September 3, 2026. According to CNN, a heat dome is steering the jet stream into the region, creating conditions for repetitive storms. Tuesday saw scattered thunderstorms across New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, with some intensifying by late afternoon. Wednesday is expected to bring a higher risk of severe weather, including supercell thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. Flooding risks are elevated due to heavy rain over already saturated areas. By Thursday, the storm activity will begin to shift southward, with the Mid-Atlantic facing the brunt of the severe weather.
