Tropical Storm Ophelia formed over the Atlantic Ocean Friday and is expected by the National Hurricane Center to make landfall in North Carolina Saturday morning.
The storm will bring a danger of life-threatening storm surge, high surf and rip currents to the mid-Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center. More than 7 million people were under tropical storm warnings as of Friday afternoon.
The tropical storm is expected to bring up to 10 inches of rain and could impact multiple games across the NFL and MLS.
"People in coastal areas should take this storm seriously," AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno told USA Today. "This is going to be a nasty and formidable storm."
