## extract

Coastal Flood Advisory — East Carteret
Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to 1 to 2 feet of
inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines
and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous
rip currents, large breaking waves, and strong longshore
currents in the surf zone.

* WHERE...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, areas adjacent to the
Southern Pamlico Sound and adjacent tidal creeks. This would
include areas extending from Cedar Island to Merrimon including
South River. Areas adjacent to Core Sound could possibly see
some elevated water levels as well impacting areas from
Marshallberg to Atlantic. For the Beach Hazards Statement,
beaches north of Cape Lookout.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 AM EDT Friday.
For the first Beach Hazards Statement, until 8 PM EDT this
evening. For the second Beach Hazards Statement, from Thursday
morning through Thursday evening.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
resulting in a low threat of property damage. Some roads and
low lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns, and
homes adjacent to the waterfront will experience shallow
flooding. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away
from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore break can throw a
swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom causing neck and
back injuries. Strong longshore currents will create dangerous
swimming conditions.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most likely time for strong rip
currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,
which will occur around Thursday 12:25 PM Thursday.
