The system has sustained winds in excess of 60 mph and is producing widespread wind, rain and surge for the United States’ mid- and upper-east coast, chief meteorologist Tom Terry said.
Certified meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said the storm will affect the southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states this weekend.
“Heavy rain could lead to flash and urban flooding from North Carolina to New Jersey,” she said. “Large storm surge is possible for the Pamlico and Albemarle sounds as well as the Chesapeake Bay.”
At Central Florida’s beaches, seas will remain dangerous.
Life-threatening rip currents and rough seas are expected, with a small craft advisory in place until 8 p.m. Saturday, Crimi said.
Terry will update you on the latest local impacts, starting at 4 p.m. on Channel 9 Eyewitness News.
