Coastal Storm Threatens East Coast with Heavy Rain and Strong Winds

A developing low-pressure system off the Florida coastline is expected to bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, coastal flooding, and rough surf to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions this weekend. Tropical storm warnings have been issued for several areas along the East Coast, with the potential for life-threatening inundation from rising water. The storm, likely to be named Ophelia, will impact major cities and could bring a month's worth of rainfall to some areas. Additionally, there will be rough surf, rip currents, and a low risk of severe weather and isolated tornadoes. The storm is expected to make landfall in the Mid-Atlantic and then move up the Chesapeake Bay before weakening early next week.
