Coastal areas from Long Island, New York, to North Carolina are under coastal flood warnings and advisories. The strong onshore winds are expected to push seawater into inlets and bays, leading to prolonged flooding as the water struggles to drain. High tides and pounding surf could cause significant coastal erosion and property damage. While the worst of the wind and rain is forecast to remain offshore, the storm's stalling nature means that these impacts could persist through multiple high tide cycles, increasing the risk of flooding and damage along the coastline.
