A potent coastal storm is brewing in the Atlantic, setting its sights on the coasts of Virginia and North Carolina. Residents can expect strong winds and hazardous surf conditions. High Surf and Wind Advisories will be in effect starting Tuesday, with wind gusts approaching 50 mph and wave heights reaching up to 11 feet. These conditions are likely to cause significant beach erosion and tidal flooding, particularly in low-lying coastal areas. Travel delays are also anticipated as the storm impacts roadways and ferry services.
