Low pressure off the North Carolina coast will slowly retrograde westward towards the Mid-Atlantic Coast before moving eastward out over the Atlantic by Tuesday evening. Moisture circulating around the low will produce rain over parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Coast through Tuesday. The non-tropical area of low pressure will develop and intensify well off the North Carolina coast early this week before slowly tracking north and exiting the region by Thursday. As it strengthens, the storm will likely bring long-duration coastal impacts to portions of the Mid-Atlantic, especially for the North Carolina Outer Banks. Persistent, strong onshore winds will bring moderate coastal flooding, dangerous marine conditions, and beach erosion, especially during high tides, into mid-week from southern New Jersey through the North Carolina coast. Moreover, the storm is likely to bring wind gusts in excess of 45 mph across the Outer Banks region and the Virginia Tidewater. Furthermore, details on the magnitude and location of impacts are still evolving as conditions deteriorate. Check weather.gov regularly for the latest updates. Elsewhere, a second area of low pressure over the Eastern Pacific will move southward along the West Coast, bringing scattered rain to parts of the Northern California coast late Monday morning. Overnight Monday into Tuesday, the rain will move southward to Central/Southern California with scattered showers and thunderstorms over parts of the Central/Northern Great Basin and Southwest. Lastly, a weak stationary front and easterly flow off the Atlantic will produce scattered rain and embedded thunderstorms over the eastern coast of Florida through Tuesday evening.
