Potential Subtropical Storm Threatens East Coast

A subtropical storm is likely to form off the Southeast coast and move northward, bringing gusty winds, rough surf, rip currents, shoreline flooding, and heavy rain to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this weekend. The extent of rainfall and wind inland is uncertain, but most models predict a solid soaking for areas east of Interstate 81. Additionally, there are two other systems to watch in the Atlantic: Hurricane Nigel, which is expected to stay away from land, and a tropical wave over western Africa that has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm.
