Nor’easter and Tropical Systems Drive Emergencies From the U.S. Northeast to Mexico

Mexico reports 64 storm deaths as forecasters warn of intense rains through Thursday.

Overview

  • New Jersey activated a state of emergency as a nor’easter threatened moderate to severe coastal flooding, gusts up to 60 mph and as much as 5 inches of rain.
  • The National Weather Service said the greatest flood risk stretched from northeastern North Carolina to much of New Jersey, with heavy rain and strong winds for the New York area and southern New England.
  • Airports from Washington, D.C., to Boston reported delays and cancellations, and the FAA cautioned that disruptions could extend into Monday.
  • Mexico’s weather service forecast heavy to intense rainfall from Oct. 14–16 driven by low‑pressure channels, a potential Pacific cyclonic low, a tropical wave and an approaching cold front, with Chiapas, Oaxaca, Veracruz and Tabasco highlighted for the most severe impacts.
  • At a national briefing in Mexico, officials said recent storms left 64 dead and 74 people unlocated, as Cold Front No. 7 also brings strong winds and cooler temperatures to the northwest.
