For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
Off the East Coast of the United States:
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 this 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. Please consult statements and warnings from local 
National Weather Service offices and the Weather Prediction Center 
for more information, along with High Seas Forecasts and Storm 
Warnings issued by the National Weather Service.
