re: #210 sattv4u2

huh?

They upgraded the tropical storm forming to a hurricane? Last I heard it was going to only hit the Florida coast. If it’s going further north (and being upgraded to a hurricane) maybe I WON’T head to the beach later today/ very early tomorrow (South Carolina) as planned

Has the potential to develop into a Cat 1.

“People heading to the beaches on the Atlantic coast from Florida to southern New England can expect a couple of days on average of rough weather and surf.

“From parts of eastern North Carolina to southeastern Virginia, Delmarva, New Jersey, Long Island and on Cape Cod, there is the potential for coastal flooding at times of high tide within 12 hours of the center of the system passing by, even if the center was to stay offshore. As the system is passing this part of the coastline, it could be a hurricane.

“The system, which is forecast to attain tropical storm status and could become a hurricane, will hug the coast and could even make landfall in North Carolina before turning out to the Northeast late in the week,” Kottlowski said.”
