What happened
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a low-pressure system along the East Coast that is currently affecting the region. The center stated that the system has a 20% chance of becoming a subtropical cyclone over the next seven days, though the chance of development in the next 48 hours is near zero. The low is expected to move slowly and erratically through the middle of next week.
Why it matters
Regardless of whether the system achieves subtropical classification, the National Hurricane Center reports that it will cause high winds, coastal flooding, and dangerous surf along portions of the U.S. East Coast. The system is currently driving impacts related to a nor’easter through next week.
