## extract

Beach Hazards Statement — East Carteret
Severity: Moderate. 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 and large breaking waves expected 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 Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT Friday through
Friday 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.

7:20 PM. The most likely time for strong rip currents to occur
is a couple hours either side of low tide, which will occur
around 1:15 PM Friday.
