## extract

Beach Hazards Statement — Northern Outer Banks
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 1 to 2 feet of inundation
above ground level low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways. Elevated water levels due to high astronomical tides
and period of west winds may lead to localized minor flooding of
low-lying areas prone to sound-side flooding. For the High Surf
Advisory, large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet in the surf zone.
For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents and
large breaking waves expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...Northern Outer Banks ocean-side locales that experienced
weakening of dune structures over the last few days. For sound-
side localized flooding, low-lying areas prone to sound-side
flooding in and near Manteo..

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Sunday
evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until midnight EDT
Sunday night. For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 AM EDT
Sunday.

* 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. Dune structure
erosion is possible in vulnerable locations. Dangerous swimming
and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The next ocean-side high tide times are
around 8 PM tonight, 815 AM Sunday, and 830 PM Sunday. The
sound-side high times are around 1130 AM Sunday and midnight
