UNDATED -- A storm moving up the East Coast is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds and the possibility of minor flooding to the Northeast over the next couple of days.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for portions of southern New England from tomorrow afternoon through Saturday afternoon.
A high surf advisory has been posted through 6 p.m. tomorrow for Cape Cod and the Islands and southerrn Rhode Island. And a gale warning will be in effect beginning at 10 p.m. for coastal waters, with forecasters calling for wind gusts of up to 30 knots and 7-10 foot seas tomorrow.
Minor flooding was reported from the nor'easter along the coast from South Carolina to Virginia. Two North Carolina counties closed schools for the day and motorists were warned to be careful on roads and high bridges.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Kyle has formed in the Atlantic about 645 miles south of Bermuda. The National Hurricane Center says the storm is headed to the north and could strengthen in the next couple of days.
