The storm poses significant risks, including storm surges of 1 to 3 feet along the Alabama-Mississippi border to Port Bolivar, Texas, and Lake Pontchartrain. Flash flooding is a major concern, particularly in urban areas, with rainfall potentially overwhelming drainage systems. Coastal areas may experience life-threatening surf and rip currents. The storm's impact could disrupt daily life, especially in low-lying and flood-prone regions. Residents in affected areas are advised to remain vigilant and prepare for potential flooding and power outages.
