Coastal storm dampens weekend for East Coast with many under Winter Weather Advisory
About 1-2 inches of rain is possible from Richmond, Virginia and into New York City through Boston through Sunday, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
Northeast slammed by coastal storm over weekend
Cooler temperatures and rain drench much of the Northeast this weekend with some areas in higher elevations seeing snow.
Widespread soaking rain and cold temperatures for mid-April are impacting the Northeast courtesy of a low-pressure system off the mid-Atlantic coast.
This is the second round of wet weather for many of these areas. On Thursday, a different low-pressure system moved across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast, bringing rain and snow to higher elevations in northern New England.
In addition, the full Moon this weekend, combined with this system, could bring some coastal flooding as well.
