Description

What

For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards Statement, a high risk of rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Warning, two to three feet of inundation above ground level expected in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

Where

Eastern Currituck County.

When

For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 PM EDT Thursday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through this evening. For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 11 AM this morning to 4 AM EDT Friday.

Impacts

Widespread flooding of vulnerable areas will result in an elevated threat of property damage to homes and businesses near the waterfront and shoreline. Water will be 2 to 3 feet above ground level in some areas resulting in a sufficient depth to close numerous roads and threaten homes and businesses. Flooding will extend inland from the waterfront along tidal rivers and bays resulting in some road closures and flooding of vehicles.

Instructions

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
