MIAMI, Fla. — The National Hurricane Center said Post-Tropical Cyclone Ophelia poses a risk of flooding and heavy rain from Washington D.C. to New York City as it moves north-northeast.
Ophelia was named on Friday; it made landfall in North Carolina.
As of 5 a.m., the system was located about 85 miles south of Washington, D.C., according to the NHC. It has 25 miles per hour winds.
Flash flood watches have expired, but coastal flood warnings and advisories remain in effect for portions of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic.
A gradual weakening is forecast for Ophelia during the next 48 hours as the low center moves slowly offshore.
