More than 60 flights were canceled Thursday at Boston Logan International Airport, where there were also more than 300 delayed flights.

Coastal flood advisories and gale warnings were issued for many coastal areas of New England and New York on Thursday.The storm was then expected to pass, leaving light rain and patchy drizzle, on Friday.“It’s just really a nice dose of rain for the region — not expecting much for flooding,” Pederson said.

Snow was expected to be confined to mountainous areas, but accumulations there were possible.Nor’easters are usually winter weather events, and it is unusual to see them in May. They typically form when there are large temperature differences from west to east during winter when there is cold air over land and the oceans are relatively warm.

But right now there is a traffic jam in the atmosphere because of an area of high pressure in the Canadian Arctic that is allowing unusually cold air to funnel down over the Northeast. The low pressure system off the East Coast is being fueled by a jet stream that is unusually south at the moment.

“It really is a kind of a winter-type setup that you rarely see this late,” said Judah Cohen, seasonal forecast director at the private firm Atmospheric and Environmental Research.Police, who called the procession the “Dance of Flags,” said they had detained a number of people and “acted swiftly to prevent violence, confrontations and provocations.”
