Fortunately, it doesn't appear to\nbe a storm that would come with major impacts. However, there is a\nchance for minor coastal impacts and high surf due to gusty west-\nsouthwest winds as the system looks to strengthen a bit before\nlandfall. We will continue to update as necessary throughout the\nweek."}
