Discussion
A tropical low pressure system will intensify off the Carolina coastline today and it will have a big impact here beginning late tonight and continuing through much of the weekend. High pressure will begin to lose control of our weather here today as clouds will be on the increase and the breeze will begin to pick up. Rain associated with the tropical storm should push in later tonight and continue off and on at varying rates well into the upcoming weekend with a few inches on the table. Winds will become a noticeable factor as well during this weather event; especially, along coastal sections where gusts past 50 mph are likely. The pressure gradient will tighten between the intensifying tropical low pressure to the south and a departing strong high pressure system to the north resulting in strong and persistent onshore winds. The extended period of onshore winds will increase the chance of beach erosion and coastal flooding at times of high tide.
