The weather outlet says that the "powerhouse" storm expected to arrive on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 17 will have the look and feel of a tropical system.
The storm has potential to reach the criteria of a bomb cyclone, but if it doesn't, it won't strengthen too much, AccuWeather says.
AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno says damage is likely along the coastline, with winds that push water from the Atlantic to the shoreline and heavy rain.
A flood watch has been issued for much of New Jersey for Sunday through Monday, Dec. 18.
Saturday, Dec. 16 will be warm and sunny with a high near 55. Sunday, Dec. 17 will be cloudy with a high chance of rain after 1 p.m., the National Weather Service says. The heaviest rain is expected on Sunday night.
Snow showers are possible Monday night, Dec. 18 in Pennsylvania, the NWS says.
