Overview

• Coastal Flood Watches are in effect through Sunday evening for Atlantic coastal counties, with a Flood Watch for the Treasure Coast through Sunday morning.
• A developing low near the Bahamas is lifting north and driving persistent onshore flow that expands showers and embedded storms along Florida and coastal Georgia.
• Northeast winds of roughly 20 to 25 mph with gusts up to 30 to 40 mph will elevate tides and could produce minor coastal flooding Saturday and Sunday.
• High surf, a high rip current risk, and a small craft advisory are in place, with seas near 10 feet creating dangerous beach and boating conditions.
• The National Hurricane Center says Imelda is now post-tropical and is monitoring two tropical waves with low odds of development, while any new low moving toward the northern Gulf remains uncertain.
