Overview
- Forecasters say showers will begin early this week with a coastal low likely to form midweek and the main impacts arriving Friday into the weekend.
- The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued flood advisories and a watch for the Shore and warned moderate tidal flooding could continue through at least Friday evening.
- Strong northeast onshore gusts are expected along the coast, roughly 35–50 mph with inland gusts near 25 mph, and power outages and storm-driven waves are possible.
- The storm’s exact track remains uncertain and will control impacts; a path closer to southern New England would bring the heaviest rain and worst coastal flooding while a farther offshore track would limit rainfall but still cause high surf and erosion.
- Communities should prepare for multi-day coastal inundation, beach erosion, and possible road closures and monitor updates from the National Weather Service and local broadcasters as forecasts evolve.
