Monday, the low is forecasted to make landfall south of Myrtle Beach.

After landfall, the system will continue to move NW, pulling rain into Ohio and as far north as Southern New England.

The storm will downgrade quickly as it moves inland but will continue to bring rain.

The storm will continue to cause rough surf, heavy rains that may lead to flooding, and tropical-storm-force winds over 40 mph. The National Hurricane Center issued Tropical Storm Warnings along coastal South and North Carolina.
