...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM EDT SUNDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 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.
* WHERE...Northern Outer Banks and Hatteras Island.

* IMPACTS...Up to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is

resulting in an elevated threat of property damage, mainly
around the times of high tide. Rip currents can sweep even the
best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,
which will occur around 3 PM Thursday.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired,
float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
