| Brief Description | Coastal Flood Watch | |
| Detailed Description | * WHAT. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 15 to 20+ feet expected in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood Watch, significant oceanside inundation above ground level likely in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE. East Carteret County, and Northern Outer Banks, Ocracoke Island and Hatteras Island. * WHEN. For the High Surf Advisory, from noon Tuesday to midnight EDT Friday night. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Tuesday afternoon through Friday evening. * IMPACTS. Extreme beach and coastal damage is likely along the oceanside, resulting in a significant threat to life and property. Large dangerous waves will likely inundate and destroy protective dune structures. Severe flooding will likely extend inland from the waterfront causing flooding of many homes and businesses with some structural damage possible. Numerous roads will likely be impassable under several feet of water and vehicles will likely be submerged. Actions will need to be taken to protect life and property. Very dangerous swimming and surfing conditions expected, as well as the wave action resulting in significant beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS. This is expected to be a prolonged duration event, with the potential for portions of NC-12 and secondary roads along the Outer Banks, in particular on Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, to be impassable and/or inaccessible for several days due to significant wave run up. Minor soundside flooding will also be possible if stronger winds develop over the Pamlico Sound. |
