New York and New Jersey declare states of emergency, bracing for flooding

  • American Airlines, United Airlines, and JetBlue Airways are waiving change fees for Northeast flights this weekend as a nor'easter threatens the region with high winds, heavy rain, and potential flooding.
  • The National Weather Service's Boston-area office cautioned Thursday that powerful winds from Friday into Sunday, combined with foliage still on trees, raise the likelihood of broken branches and electrical outages.
  • Gusts are expected to reach 50 to 60 miles per hour along the eastern Massachusetts coast, while rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are forecast across southern New England, with isolated amounts of 5 to 6 inches possible.
  • Passengers can reschedule flights through mid-next week without paying fare differences at 16 airports for American Airlines and 11 for JetBlue, provided they maintain original cabin class and city pairing.
  • Beyond air travel, cruise ships Norwegian Jewel and Norwegian Escape have altered itineraries to avoid the storm, while airlines continue assessing the nor'easter's path for potential further disruptions.
