Spring nor'easter soaks Northeast

The Northeast was soaked by a spring nor'easter on Saturday, and New England will bear the brunt of it on Mother's Day, meteorologists said.

CBS Boston meteorologist Pamela Gardner said up to 1.5 inches of rain and there could be wind gusts of up to 45 mph could hit New England. Cape Cod could get up to 2 inches. 

Temperatures in Boston will be in the 40s, and will get up to the 60s in New York. 

The storm developed in the southeast on Friday and moved up the coast on Saturday, the National Weater Service told CBS News. Avalon, New Jersey and other areas along the coast flooded as the rain poured down on the coast on the mid-Atlantic states. The area was hit with 30 to 35 mph wind gusts and up to 2 inches of rain hit. 

Even wtih the storm moving north, the mid-Atlantic area could still see a thunderstorm on Sunday, the National Weather Service said. 

But the Midwest moms will be smiling, Gardner reports. Sunshine is in the forecast, with temperatures in the 70s and 80s.
