According to forecasters, a cold front is weighing on the three-state region, causing heavy storms and heavy rains in the Big Apple and northeast on Wednesday.
"Severe thunderstorms will be possible from Montreal, Canada, to Syracuse, NY, with severe weather approaching I-95 corridor by Wednesday night," said AcconWeather meteorologist Ryan Adamson.
The storms will threaten about 100,000 square kilometers of heavily populated, endangering more than 60 million people.
"The biggest risk to life and property can come from the risk of falling trees, due to the saturated state of the soil," said meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.
"The trees took a lot of water, but the soil remains saturated. The trees are literally very heavy now, so any moderate gust of wind can knock them over, "he said.
And driving can be dangerous – the visibility on the roads between Washington, DC and New York should be only a few hundred feet.
Unusual cold air behind the storm system will collide with moist, moist air, providing the fuel needed to trigger more widespread destructive storms.
Wednesday will be hot and humid, with a high of 81 degrees and a minimum of 60. Thunderstorms should hit at 18h.
