Coastal Storm to Lash East Coast Late Sunday Into Monday; Bengaluru Under Heavy-Rain Alert

Forecasters report rising confidence in a slow‑moving low, with coastal flood alerts posted and peak impacts focused on Sunday night into Monday.

Overview

  • An intensifying coastal low off the Southeast is expected to track north and bring heavy rain, strong onshore winds and coastal flooding to the Mid‑Atlantic and New England, with the worst conditions Sunday night into Monday.
  • National Weather Service offices have issued coastal flood watches that begin late Sunday in Southern New England, and local wind advisories or high wind watches note shoreline gusts that could reach 40–60 mph.
  • Forecast guidance points to roughly 1–2 inches of rain along the I‑95 corridor and 2–4 inches or more near the coast, raising risks for beach erosion, tidal flooding and scattered power outages.
  • Model differences keep details uncertain, with scenarios ranging from a center near Cape May to the Chesapeake Bay and the system potentially lingering into Tuesday before a midweek drying trend.
  • Separately in India, Bengaluru is under an IMD three‑day yellow alert for heavy rain and 30–40 km/h gusts, with reports of waterlogging, uprooted trees and traffic disruptions.
