WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Drenching downpours and gusty winds are expected to continue Tuesday across the East Coast and Southeast, possibly bringing tornadoes and flash floods to New England.
A cold front sliding across the East Coast will bring thunderstorms with potentially damaging wind gusts from the Louisiana-Texas state line east to Atlanta and up the coast to Boston and other areas of New England, The Weather Channel said. Problems were early to start Tuesday at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International Airports with delays of more than an hour. The storms are projected to affect some 84 million people.
