Brewing nor’easter to Stir up Days of Trouble for the Outer Banks and Mid-Atlantic
NOAA gauges show nearly 40 Florida locations at high water levels as sustained onshore winds and rough surf raise flood and erosion risks.
- A developing coastal storm will bring strong winds and coastal flooding to the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic starting Sunday, with the system expected to linger through next week.
- High pressure in Canada interacting with the developing storm creates a tight pressure gradient, intensifying wind speeds as the system forms off the North Carolina coast.
- Gusts of more than 60 mph are possible in the Outer Banks by Sunday afternoon, with minor coastal flooding expected to begin Sunday morning in the Chesapeake Bay area.
- Florida's east coast faces onshore winds and rough surf, contributing to beach erosion and elevated water levels in the Johns River and Marys River.
- Although unlikely to turn tropical, the storm may linger near the coast for several days, with a small chance it could become a hybrid system fed by ocean heat later next week.
