Overview
- The low is expected to develop Friday off the Southeast coast and track north, with the strongest impacts forecast Sunday into Monday along the Mid‑Atlantic.
- Coastal flood watches and advisories are posted, and forecasters in New Jersey expect major flooding around the early‑afternoon high tide Sunday for oceanfront and back bays.
- Winds are forecast to reach 40–50 mph across parts of Hampton Roads with gusts up to 60 mph along exposed coasts, while Southeast beaches see frequent gusts over 30 mph.
- Marine hazards will be dangerous with rough surf and a high rip‑current threat, including no‑swimming guidance in Southeast Georgia, and offshore gusts reaching gale to near storm force.
- Rainfall projections have trended modest for many areas at roughly 1–2 inches, with 2–4 inches possible near the Shore, though inland flood risk still depends on the storm’s exact track.
