NHC watching spot of potential development off eastern U.S. coast

  • October 18, 2026

Coastal communities warned of high winds, flooding and dangerous surf

NHC Sun AM

A storm-force non-tropical low-pressure area is expected to form later today or tonight off the southeast coast of the United States.

This low is likely to move slowly and erratically through the middle of next week, and some subtropical development is possible during that time.

Regardless of development, this system will cause high winds, coastal flooding, and dangerous surf along portions of the U.S. East Coast.

Formation chance through 48 hours: Low, near 0%

Formation chance through 7 days: Low, 30%
