Fortunately, it doesn't appear to\nbe a storm that would come with major impacts. However, there is\na chance for minor coastal impacts and high surf due to gusty\nsoutheast winds during the first half of the storm as it looks to\nstrengthen a bit before landfall, then west-northwest winds as\nthe low passes through. We will continue to update as necessary\nthroughout the week."}
