CHARLESTON — A low pressure system is expected to bring coastal flooding and high surf to the Charleston area this weekend, one which will feature the popular Riverfront Revival music festival.

A large system of low pressure is forecasted to develop off the southeastern U.S. this weekend and move up the coast into next week, said Steven Taylor, a lead meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Charleston office.

The non-tropical system is not expected to bring much rain, he said.

The breezy conditions brought by the system will put tides in Charleston Harbor into the major flood stage by Oct. 9 heading into weekend.

While most of system's rain will stay off the coast, Taylor said the saltwater inundation will flood low-lying areas, including parts of the Charleston peninsula.
