Part 5/8:
The storm's strong winds will significantly influence coastal conditions, with potential for minor coastal flooding during high tide periods. The wind advisories and watches indicate the likelihood of damaging gusts, especially near the shore. Coastal areas, including the islands, should prepare for:
High wind gusts of 40–50 mph
Possible localized power outages or downed trees
Strain on storm drains and water management systems due to falling leaves and debris
Residents in these areas are advised to secure loose items, stay indoors during peak wind times, and monitor local updates closely.
