According to the National Weather Service, we have a coastal storm that is developing just off of Florida and will move up toward our area later today, overnight, and into tomorrow. Weather officials say this will bring some moderate to heavy rainfall, gusty winds and rip currents along the coast.

It is not tropical in nature, but could try to acquire some tropical characteristics. That chance is low and the impact would remain the same.

Widespread flash flooding is not expected, but localized areas of flooding could be possible.

Rainfall: 1-3″

Flooding: localized but not tidal or widespread

Wind: 25-30 with Gusts to 40 possible across the coastal areas and beaches

Rip Current Risk: High
