The storm poses risks to coastal communities along the mid-Atlantic and southeastern U.S. regions. Areas such as the Outer Banks of North Carolina, southeastern Virginia, and beach communities in Maryland and Delaware are expected to experience the most significant impacts. Coastal flooding, beach erosion, and dangerous rip currents are likely, especially during high tide cycles. Wind gusts of 40-60 mph could cause damage to unsecured objects and create hazardous conditions for residents and travelers. The storm's slow movement may prolong these effects, increasing the risk of property damage and erosion.
