High-Impact Coastal Storm to Slam the East Coast This Weekend
The storm may bring heavy rain, winds gusting 40-60 mph, tidal flooding, and beach erosion along the coast, threatening homes at risk of collapse, National Weather Service says.
- Sunday, the National Weather Service warns a potentially significant coastal storm will form near the North Carolina coast and strengthen, lifting northward into early next week.
- A surface low will form off the South Carolina coast Friday and Saturday along a stalled frontal boundary near the North Carolina coast, allowing the system to intensify, the NWS says.
- Forecasters warn heavy rain will likely span the coastline from the Carolinas into New England, with wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph capable of tree damage and power outages.
- Beachfront residents should prepare for several days of tidal flooding and disruption, as repeated coastal flooding could worsen beach erosion and threaten homes after nine collapsed in the Outer Banks this year.
- Forecast models remain uncertain, with northward track possibilities drifting east out to sea or back south; the storm is likely to last through at least Monday and could linger into Tuesday.
