The Mid-Atlantic and Northeast will bear the brunt of the storm, which will usher in beach erosion and flooding, Monday into Tuesday, forecasters said.

A slow-moving storm was working its way up the East Coast Sunday afternoon, bringing drenching rains, gusty winds and probably enough coastal flooding to inundate waterfront property and cause beach erosion.
The most extreme weather will be at the coast, forecasters said, with the risk for significant coastal flooding highest in the Mid-Atlantic. The coasts of Delaware, southern New Jersey and the Virginia Tidewater, a low-lying area of eastern Virginia named for the tidal rivers that flow through it, are especially susceptible.
The storm was on track to affect Southeastern states Sunday, the Mid-Atlantic from Sunday into Monday, and New England from late Sunday into Tuesday.
In addition to the high risk of flooding, the storm was expected to bring damaging winds up to 60 miles per hour at the coast, and up to 40 m.p.h. inland.
New York City is predicted to record 1.5 to three inches of rain from Sunday into Monday.
Forecasters said that isolated wind gusts could reach 60 m.p.h. on Long Island and at the Jersey Shore from Sunday night into Monday, though they’re not expected to reach the level of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, when wind speeds topped 70-80 m.p.h.
Coastal areas from South Carolina to New England were predicted to record two to four inches, even five inches, of rain in the coming days. Washington and Philadelphia are likely to record about half an inch to one inch.
