Big Storm Forming Along North Carolina's Outer Banks | Coastal Flooding May Leave Residents Stranded
Forecasters say the system could stall and bring multi-day high winds, large waves and coastal flooding from North Carolina to Delaware.
- A new coastal storm system is expected to form off the East Coast early next week, threatening the Carolinas to New Jersey with heavy rain, strong winds, and tidal flooding.
- AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Adam Douty notes the system follows a strong cold front pushing off the coast, with computer models indicating a low-pressure formation similar to the nor'easter that occurred three weeks ago.
- Offshore seas are predicted to reach 25 feet, with wind gusts potentially hitting 70 mph between southeastern Virginia and the Outer Banks, threatening to render North Carolina's Route 12 impassable.
- Residents from southern New Jersey to the Carolinas are preparing for heavy beach erosion and strong winds beginning next week, as Douty warned that heavy rain could create travel hazards from Delaware Bay.
- The National Hurricane Center is monitoring the system for potential tropical development, which would earn the name Josephine, as warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures off the Carolinas could allow strengthening if it stalls offshore.
