East Coast Faces High Winds, Coastal Flooding as Storm Develops
If the storm develops into a named subtropical or tropical storm, it would be named Josephine.
A slow-moving coastal storm is expected to bring high winds, flooding, and dangerous surf to parts of the East Coast this week. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) stated that a storm-force non-tropical low is expected to form off the Southeast coast on Sunday or Sunday night and move slowly and erratically through the middle of the week.
Regardless of whether the system develops into a named subtropical or tropical storm, it is expected to cause high winds, coastal flooding, and dangerous surf along portions of the U.S. East Coast. The storm does not need to become a named storm to produce significant coastal impacts, with AccuWeather hurricane experts warning of a medium risk for tropical or subtropical development between October 19th and October 23rd.
The most prolonged effects are expected from the Delmarva Peninsula into eastern North Carolina, with rain, gusty winds, beach erosion, and coastal flooding among the threats.
