A potent cold front is sweeping through the Northeast today, packing the punch for some stronger storms, especially for those along the Interstate 95 corridor. Damaging wind gusts over 60 mph and even isolated flooding from Maine down to North Carolina are possible.

That comes after severe storms late Monday night prompted the National Weather Service office in State College, Pennsylvania, to issue a rare Flash Flood Emergency for "life-threatening flash flooding" in central Pennsylvania.
