Keep an eye - now I see what brought down those beach front homes

A large storm that will remain stalled just off the Atlantic coast into Wednesday will continue to create stiff winds and rough surf, prior to turning westward later this week, when it will deliver downpours in the Southeast. This storm, which brought tornadoes and flooding rain to the mid-Atlantic and central Appalachians last week, could even become the very first subtropical depression or named system of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.

The storm is shown on AccuWeather's Wind Flow map on the morning of May 10, 2022.
With surf temperatures being mainly 70s on the southern Atlantic coast, those considering getting a quick swim or surf in might want to think twice before taking the plunge as rip currents will likely be strong.

"The rip current risk will be most dangerous along the Southeast coast," Johnson-Levine said. That being said, dangerous rip currents can be found in many places up and down the East Coast this week, but waters are still dangerously chilly for bathers along the upper mid-Atlantic and New England coasts.

Later this week, the storm is forecast to bring showers and spotty thunderstorms onshore as well from southern New Jersey to northern Florida.

Residents living close to the coastline will want to keep an eye on the forecast this week in case the storm develops into something more.

And the winds have been 25 to 45mph with high tides and back bay flooding. The ocean is wild… white caps to the horizon.

Perfectly safe. My dog, however, is not thrilled with the wind on her walks and I could have picked a better week for a getaway I suppose.

Anyway... The ocean is sometimes especially beautiful when it is savage.

you experienced this week - it’s all nature.- showing us that it has other sides. If the rest of us can be inconvenienced, so can the dog. Speaking as a dog and cat lover. 😀
