UPDATE: Oct. 29, 2017, 3:51 p.m. EDT The East Coast storm is proving to be even more intense than initially projected, in part because it is fully ingesting the remnant energy and moisture from Tropical Storm Philippe, which briefly spun up near Florida on Saturday.
Strong winds and torrential rain are the biggest threats from this fast-moving, unusually intense storm system, which is occurring on the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy's landfall in New Jersey.
The strongest winds are likely to affect eastern New England, with gusts to hurricane force, or 75 miles per hour, not out of the question in Boston, Providence, and much of Long Island from late Sunday into Monday. Winds this strong may cause widespread power outages and tree damage.
During the day on Monday, strong northwesterly winds around the backside of the storm may cause disruptions in Washington, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston. Wind gusts greater than 50 miles per hour could delay flights and cause additional power outages.
The Northeast U.S. hasn't had much of a fall season. Weekends have featured record-breaking high temperatures in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit, and major storms have been almost entirely absent from D.C. to Maine. In fact, even the most ardent leaf peepers have been disappointed by the foliage, since the trees seem to be confused as to what season it is.
The string of mild, quiet weather weeks will change this weekend in a big way, as a deep dip, or trough, in the jet stream will help trigger the development of a rapidly intensifying storm along the East Coast.

This will be one of the first big coastal storms of the season for many, but it will be moving quickly, sparing the region from prolonged inland and coastal flooding concerns.

This refers to the phenomena of bombogenesis, which involves a low pressure area that deepens (meaning the air pressure drops) by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. In general, the lower the air pressure, the stronger the storm.
One of the most notable features about this storm will be the tropical downpours it will bring to the Northeast, particularly from New Jersey to Maine. The low pressure area will be connected to a plume of tropical moisture dipping far to the south and southwest, all the way to Cuba, near where a tropical weather disturbance may be located this weekend.

This means that heavy rainfall will likely be associated with this storm system, and the National Weather Service is predicting up to 5-plus inches of rainfall in parts of New York state.
As the storm intensifies, it will also produce strong winds, on the order of 40 to 60 miles per hour, and potentially even higher in some areas, particularly on Sunday into Monday. Such winds will be capable of knocking down trees, power lines, and causing flight delays.
Unfortunately, those winds may bring down any remaining disappointing fall foliage.
