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

* 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 12:12 PM Thursday.

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.

Swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf
conditions.
