This system, which caused widespread power outages in Alabama on Monday, is also forming a non-tropical coastal storm off the Carolina coast. The severe weather is fueled by tropical moisture, with a Level 1 out of 5 severe thunderstorm risk for areas such as southeastern Alabama, southern Georgia, and Florida's Atlantic Coast. Additionally, a Level 1 out of 4 flash flood risk spans East Texas, Louisiana, and parts of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Coastal areas in the Carolinas are also bracing for rough surf and rip currents as the coastal storm develops offshore.
