A major storm is set to bring lots of rain, strong winds and coastal flooding to the Cape Region Oct. 28-30.
According to the latest forecast by the National Weather Service, the storm is expected to produce 1 to 3 inches of rain, winds of 40 to 50 mph and minor tidal flooding that could spill onto roadways and cause beach erosion.
Minor flooding may begin as early as the high-tide cycle during the day Oct. 28. High tide in Rehoboth Beach is 1:07 p.m., then again at 1:29 a.m. As of 10:15 a.m., Oct. 28, waves are already nearing the dune line.
In Lewes, high tide is 1:54 p.m., with the next at 2:26 a.m.
The majority of the rain is expected Oct. 30, and it should clear out by Halloween, though winds of 15 to 25 mph are still expected.
