East Coast Braces for Coastal Low Sunday–Monday With Flooding Tides, Strong Winds and Rough Surf

King tides will amplify flooding at high tide cycles.

Overview

  • Coastal flood watches, warnings and advisories are up from the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic, with multiple high-tide cycles at risk.
  • A low forming off the Southeast coast is forecast to track north this weekend, bringing the greatest impacts from Sunday into Monday across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
  • Forecasters warn of onshore wind gusts roughly 30–60 mph, extremely hazardous marine conditions with gales to storm force, and a high risk of rip currents and beach erosion.
  • Rainfall is generally projected at 1–2 inches, though some model solutions still show localized 3–5 inch totals near parts of the I-95 corridor.
  • Hampton Roads and the Jersey Shore could see moderate to major tidal flooding Sunday, but track uncertainty means local impacts may shift.
