The developing northeastern storm is a rare, complex system consisting of a merger of Hurricane Wilma, the remnants of Tropical Storm Alpha and a low pressure system over West Virginia. The storm is expected to cause strong winds, high surf and flooding along the coast, as well as inland flooding and heavy snow in the northern Appalachian mountains.
