The storm poses risks of gusty winds between 40-60 mph, coastal flooding, and beach erosion, particularly during high tide cycles. Areas most affected include the Outer Banks of North Carolina, southeastern Virginia, and beach communities in Maryland and Delaware. Dangerous rip currents and high surf are expected along the Atlantic coastline, increasing risks for swimmers and surfers. The storm's slow movement may exacerbate flooding and erosion, especially in low-lying coastal regions.
