The severe weather conditions are expected to cause widespread flooding in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways, posing a risk to homes, businesses, and vehicles. Roads may be closed due to flooding, and power outages are possible due to gusty winds that could down tree limbs. Dangerous surf conditions and a high risk of rip currents make swimming hazardous, especially for inexperienced swimmers. Mariners should also exercise caution due to high seas and strong winds, which could make navigation perilous.
