Overview

• The nor’easter that soaked parts of the Northeast is sliding into the Gulf of Maine, with spotty showers today, persistent onshore winds and high surf advisories through this evening.
• In the lower and mid-Hudson Valley, a flood advisory on Monday warned of a 3–4 foot storm surge and minor to moderate flooding at high tide along low-lying sections of the Hudson River.
• A cold Pacific system brought heavy rain bands to California’s Central Coast Monday night—triggering tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings—then eased to intermittent showers Tuesday, with no tornado damage reported.
• Southern California remains under flood watches on recent burn scars where brief downpours could produce debris flows, with 0.25–1 inch of rain common, locally higher in mountains, and gusts reaching 30–45 mph in favored areas.
• Cooler, drier air and gradual clearing are expected midweek across both coasts, though localized flooding, debris-flow potential and dangerous surf continue until runoff and tides subside.
