The Jersey Shore and Delaware will feel the brunt of the storm as it tracks up the Eastern Seaboard.
Sustained winds of 25 to 40 m.p.h. will rattle windows and may cause tree limbs and powerlines to come crashing down.
"Tie anything down you might have outside - lawn chairs umbrellas, trash cans - because things are going to fly," said Greg Heavener, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
Hanna has skirted the coastline so far, but forecasters expect it to make landfall overnight along the Carolinas.
Rain could begin to fall in the Philadelphia region before morning.
Expect a deluge through Saturday afternoon with the heaviest precipation falling Saturday night.
A flash flood watch has been sounded - along with a tropical storm watch - for the Jersey coastline, the Upper Chesapeake Bay, and the Delaware Bay.
"We're basically looking at something similar to a nor'easter that's actually a tropical storm," Heavener said this morning. "It's gonna be a mess."
The rain should begin to dissipate by Sunday morning with a chance of showers continuing through Sunday afternoon.
High temperatures will reach 80 on Saturday and the low 80s on Sunday, Heavener said.
