...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING... ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 2 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 11 AM EDT FRIDAY...

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents,
large breaking waves expected, and strong longshore currents in
the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one foot
of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas
near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...East Carteret County.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT this
morning through this evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory,
from 2 PM this afternoon to 11 AM EDT Friday.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 foot of inundation above ground level is
possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
resulting in a low threat of property damage along the Neuse
River. 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.

Information: 
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
