WASHINGTON, Oct 19 (NNN-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- Several states in the northeastern United States could face coastal flooding in the coming days due to a storm, the National Weather Service (NWS) said, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti.

These conditions are expected to persist until the middle of the week, affecting a vast area stretching from southern New Jersey to the coast of North Carolina. In some areas, wind gusts may exceed 20 metres per second (approximately 45 miles per hour).
