Freeze Warnings Sweep Northeast as Coastal Storm Poised to Batter Mid-Atlantic and New England

King tides plus persistent onshore flow raise the risk of coastal flooding, high surf, rip currents, beach erosion during the Sunday–Monday impact window.

Overview

  • - The National Weather Service has frost advisories and freeze warnings across Pennsylvania and much of the Northeast, with lows plunging into the 20s and 30s and daytime highs held to the 50s–60s.
  • - A coastal low forming off the Carolinas is forecast to lift north Sunday into Monday, bringing steady rain with roughly 1–3 inches near the coast and locally higher amounts closer to the storm center.
  • - Onshore gusts of 40–50+ mph near beaches, very rough surf, a high rip-current risk and beach erosion are expected, with tidal flooding possible at high tide during the event.
  • - Coastal flood, small craft and wind alerts are already posted in multiple coastal zones as guidance still differs on the storm’s exact track and resulting local rainfall and wind.
  • - Tropical Storm Jerry is strengthening far offshore and is not expected to make U.S. landfall, though elevated seas and surf will persist along the Atlantic coast.
