of North Carolina today and then move away from the coast over the

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
The disturbance is not expected to change much in strength today,
and the chances for the system to become a tropical cyclone continue

forecast to strengthen at sea and become a hurricane-force
extratropical low over the northwestern Atlantic Ocean by Wednesday

along the northeast North Carolina and southeast Virginia coasts
into the Delmarva through Wednesday. The heavier rains may result in
some flooding concerns along coastal areas.
